It makes me proud, and it makes me scared. More than anything, I want to be an actor and I want to keep working, and I think there's a danger in being perceived as a poster boy for something.
I love acting. I'm actually a very emotional actor.
Most, actually, German actors have like some speaking of French. So, the French wasn't the problem. But, I was having a problem with them doing my dialogue in English. And it wasn't a matter of fluency.
The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin.
The first 10 years I was a professional actor, I did Shakespeare.
If you get a chance to act in a room that somebody else has paid rent for, then you're given a free chance to practice your craft.
I know some really great actors who are pretty judgmental people, pretty critical people. But they're great actors. When they're acting, that's the craft.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
Elijah can register such subtle emotion on his face that I loved doing close-ups on him. He really brings a superb emotional level to Frodo's scenes and although he is a very instinctive actor, we discussed the character thoroughly.

The thing about many celebrities - not all - is that they're fantastic actors.
Americans just don't know what being a movie star's all about.
The only thing we are as actors are messengers. That's all we are. Correct? We are delivering the playwright's intention through the concept of the director. And I come on stage; if I feel confident in the role, then I give it away.
Troian is one of the most incredibly gifted actors I have ever seen.
An actor is an expert at being someone else. A speaker is an expert at being themselves.
I like to give my actors a lot of room.
The TV schedule is fantastic. It allows you to have a life. Theater actors are so disciplined - especially if you're doing musicals, you have to be in shape physically, mentally, and have to be on your game all the time. That's exhausting. On TV, especially a sitcom, you have a lot of free time to play.
As actors you don't want to have one label. You'd rather have seven.
Rajni Sir is very dedicated and punctual. It was great experience acting with him both as a person and as an actor. The way he maintains himself is amazing.
The nudity is down to the individual actor or actress. If they feel comfortable and it's done in a way that they feel comfortable doing, then who am I to say anything?

As an actor, your text is your bible, so you're not making a documentary, but you still have to follow the choices made by your writer.

You have to start thinking a little differently as an actor.
