This acting's serious! And I really respect those actors. It's a tough business to be able to be something you're not and be natural and convince people on camera.

Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.

There's a oneness to showing yourself to an audience. They feel that. It's healthy. That's what acting is all about.

In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

I don't like acting; not in front of the camera.

As an actor, the first thing you're taught is, 'Don't look into the camera; ignore it.'

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.

Acting is never done. We're trying to keep it real and make sure that you're entertained and it seems unrehearsed.

I remember hearing someone say that good acting is more about taking off a mask than putting one on, and in movie acting, certainly that's true. With the camera so close, you can see right down into your soul, hopefully. So being able to do that in a way is terrifying, and in another way, truly liberating. And I like that about it.
