I don't like the way some actors, when playing a nasty character, will try to grab hold of something good about them.

People don't yell nasty things at actors - they let them continue.

Actors really are superstitious. You can always spot a group of actors at a restaurant. They're the ones spitting on their knuckles and hurling salt everywhere.

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

Actors are excused from a lot of things, and we get away with a lot... I find it equally interesting and exciting as it is disgusting and bizarre.

I think that's so strange, because they do know that we're all actors and we perform things that have not necessarily anything to do with us personally.

I've stood up to producers before, and even a director. I saw them being abusive. A lot of people on the set are scared to say stuff when they're not being treated right.

Actors are such an insecure breed.

The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.

I've always had, like, from the age of about 11, I've had such an intolerance for bad behaviour of actors that I don't think I was ever going to be that person.
