Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

I just don't believe you're capable of being an actor unless you have a desire to experience your emotions in a public way.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.

I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.

I've always felt like the reason I became an actor is because I look for more high drama than what I had at home.

I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.

To me, one of the things I love about being an actor is that it's never done; it's never perfect, and so it's the process. It's like practicing being okay with things not being perfect and things being outside of your control.

I realized that there was something internal that I could gain from pursuing this career as an actor. However, once I got into the business I just really abhorred what this career can drum up inside of a person.
