I'm really enjoying being an actor right now, at this point in my life. It's a great job, it's a huge responsibility, and I just want to do it more.
All I know is that when I go somewhere, I'm not an autobot. I am a human being. I am not an actor.
I am a human being. I am not an actor.
George Clooney is a super-human, he's just such an amazing human being, he taught me how to be a better person and a better actor!
I'm not an actor who approaches films doing a lot of research. I do zero research, unless it's a film where I'm playing a mock version of someone who already existed. Then, you've got to do a lot of research.
It's rare that you get to work with actors, female or not, where you all get along. Just because of the nature of humanity.
When you're on set and you professionally listen to what the other actors have to say, then the emotion is naturally evoked.
I would tell the world that Shahrukh is the better actor
Recently an actor asked me to teach him how to speak fast. Wasn't I once criticised for speaking too fast? Now they're doing it my way.
I bring excitement on the sets. I'm an exciting actor, overrated, exaggerated. But I'm not an unexciting actor. I excite people. I never lose hope. If I feel that a film is going wrong somewhere, I do even better.
I didn't think I'd ever be an actor.
Sometimes what you lose in the time it takes to let an actor do something that you don't like as a director, you gain in not shutting them down creatively by telling them their idea sucks.
I’m very curious in regards to "The Hateful Eight" specifically about the blocking of the movie. Because in comedies, we don’t block. We basically like have to position the actors’ bodies in the way that is most conducive to filming both of them simultaneously.
I work with intuition. With interpreters. I have my own method. I know exactly what I want from actors. Sometimes, I even recite the role to the actor if it's not clear.
I'm like this mercenary actor going from show to show - people love to hire me, but then don't want me around much.
There's a lot of us idiot actors that get tattoos and they cover them with makeup when you do a film.
Most actors feel only one way. We're just grateful to have a job.
I'm still trying to figure myself out as an actor.
If I wasn't an actor and I watched my films, I could easily be like 'This guy's a clown,' you know?
I live in New York, where people don't tend to go up to actors as much.
I'll tell you what I probably would prefer to happen less and less: actors that I know and respect in shampoo ads. Or modeling.
In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.
You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.
I went through the natural process that most actors go through. I brought myself out here, had an audition on a Wednesday; then had a call-back on Thursday, had a call-back on Friday and I had it by Friday afternoon.
Sometimes it feels weird being an actor surrounded by all these real fighters and you gotta keep your confidence high and do your best to learn it as quickly as possible.
