There's a lot of idiots in Hollywood, a lot of people with no imagination, so as an actor you have to constantly re-show them what you can do.
If you feel uncomfortable on stage, you can very easily descend into a sort of abyss, convinced you're the worst actor ever, that you're a disgrace to the profession, that you're a disgrace to yourself. It's an awful feeling.
As a film director I like to have the actors create their own close-ups. It's an older style of filmmaking.
I'm practically an actor. Even when you do an interview, it's like you're performing a little bit, so yeah, I'm enjoying it, it's fun.
Worship isn't God's show. God is the audience. God's watching. The congregation, they are the actors in this drama. Worship is their show. And the minister is just reminding the people of their forgotten lines.
A fool cannot be an actor, though an actor may act a fool's part.
Sometimes you choose the wrong actor, he could be the best actor ever, but hes not cast in the right part then it doesnt work.
I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.
Mystery makes movie stars! If you see someone on the cover of the weeklies all the time, why would you want to pay to see them in a movie?
The main reason for choosing a project is not really the renown of the director that's making the project. I feel like it's the fact of an actor to constantly want to do different things.
I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.
When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.
Yeah, you know, if I'm having an emotional scene I do like to go off and be by myself; not to say that I'm a method actor or anything like that, but for scenes like that that are more emotional, I do like to take that night off and not be so social.
I would love to do more acting; I really would love to do it, particularly character acting. I'm a character type of actor; I love situations where I've got a bit of room to improvise on the character.
I grew up being fascinated by accents and dialects. One of the things that interested me were actors that were doing different characters, or sort of more caricatures.
It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.
There's a personal me, there's an actor me and there's a star me.
I discovered shooting and filmmaking around the time all of the software became affordable to anyone with a PC.
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
When I grew up, the only way a lad like me would maybe escape was playing football. Not being an actor.
Honestly, I look at the project and I look at the people attached and I look at the director. If it's a role that I feel will help me, as an actor, then I'll definitely take it.
I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I am so sensitive about not ever living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor who is well-known.
I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.
I don't get jobs in films by auditioning. I'm not blonde. You can't place me in movies the way you can with certain actors. It's very difficult for my agents.
Actors are seen as celebrities, but they're just real people with families.
