I love acting, every job is a dream job when you're an actor. I'd like to do eventually more film work and to collaborate with the best actors and directors in film.
You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You're doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing.
Besides acting which is my first love, I am also interested in behind the scenes.. Directing , writing and producing.
We have raised significant concerns about the way that China and individuals acting on behalf of the state of China have acted in cyberspace.
Even when I was really young, I hated doing commercials, because I would say, "That's not real acting." And it's not. It's embarrassing what they make little kids do in commercials.
When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing
Listen, I like great actors. You can be a movie star without being a great actor - this has been proved several times - and I like my casts to have great actors. Acting is more important to me than being a star.
You think about acting kind of as an iceberg where you've got that 5% that you see... but in order to have that 5%... you have to have another 95%.
Everything is a lesson, and there's always something to take and to learn. Whether you're winning championships or you have a losing season, you've consistently gotta go back to what you're passionate about and what has brought you to where you are today. For me, it's acting. It is the actual craft of it, and that takes work.
As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.
Acting is not just something I love but a part of who I am.
I think acting is a gift. I think certain people for some reason just have a gift that they were meant to perform.
I think acting is a gift. I look at someone like Ben Kingsley, and hes incredibly charismatic, even when hes not acting. Hes an incredibly hard worker, and he has a very specific system that he does with his work.
The caviar was very high quality. I made an acting decision on the spot that Ismay was a big eater.
I think I'm a better director than I ever was an actor. I'd love to go back to acting, but nobody seems to want me.
I was aware that I was acting atrociously but I couldn't stop myself. Rarely had I behaved in such a manner. But I guess when we're feeling lonely in life, we attack those who actually do love us. It's one of the things that characterizes human nature and can be summed up in one word: FLAWED.
Writing has made me a better actor. Acting has made me a better writer. So why wouldn't directing make me a better actor and writer?
It's rare when you're actually making a movie and it feels like you're watching a movie in the theater. You feel like a surfer in a wave, catching the wave, going for it every time, there's electricity in the room, it doesn't feel like acting, you ride the wave.
I would love to be able to do both (acting and making music). If I look at someone like Sinatra, who toured until he was 80 and made 60 movies, that would be a great life to have.
Being yourself; not acting. You therefore can function near your own level of competence. Satisfy you own expectations rather than those of others.
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole "beingness" of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.
The hardest thing about movie acting is that if you're playing a character who changes within the movie, you've got to do that, but you've got to do it out of sequence, because we never have gotten to shoot in sequence, and that's really, really tough.
I enjoy acting. It's not that I begin to think I'm getting better. I now fully know that I've made no improvement whatsoever since I was 20. I can live with it.
I'd never been to acting school, so I never thought I'd get this far.
