I think acting is a work of imagination.

I think that different actors go about their preparation differently, but when it comes to acting, I use my imagination.

Acting is an imaginative leap, really, isn't it? And imaginations prosper in different circumstances.

Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.

Acting is an imaginative exercise. It would be odd if you didn't try to identify with the roles you play, but I think I can differentiate between where my imagination is leading me and where I actually am.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

I think acting is all about the other people. Sounds like a worthy thing to say, but it's true.

For me, acting is about the art of it and it's about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas.

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

You know how when you read a book and it becomes a movie, and it's different than you pictured? In some ways, acting is a lot like that.
