Most actors can't make any kind of living.

It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.

As soon as you do it, actors realize there is no difference playing a performance-captured role or a live-action role.

Some directors hardly talk to the actors at all.

There are many actors who, whatever they do, they pretty much play themselves.

Some actors play themselves, don't they?

There is probably some great acting that goes on in movies from people who have never been on a stage, but if you are in for the long haul, you'd be missing an enormous part of what being an actor is if you're not part of theater.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.

If you're not acting, you're not an actor.

Doing a piece on film is completely different from doing it onstage.
