When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It's just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.

As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.

There's a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you're an actor you're somehow not a member of the crew. You're somehow more special. I hate that.

You have to understand that crew members make movies so they're seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.

As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.

As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.

Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.

As a director, you see something in someone; you know it's there, you just got to go get it. You do that with any actor. That's your job.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.
