The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
I was into acting as a kid. There was a time when I was 18 that I played the boy in a production of 'Equus' in Oregon, and I thought that was going to be my life.
Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life.
In college, that was when I felt that acting is the one I really wanted because I got to be my true self; this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

My style is an extension of acting and an outcome of some serious lessons I picked up learning when I did theatre in my early days.
I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.

I want to do what I love, which is act, and hopefully through that, leave a positive impact somehow, someway, with somebody.
I thought acting was what grownups did. It was such a part of my childhood. I was already in love with performing before I knew there were other options. By then, it was too late.
Your true destiny is desperately waiting on you to start thinking, acting, and walking with faith and courage.
I act like shit don’t phase me inside it drives me crazy, my insecurities could eat me alive
There's a lot of romanticisation of the intuitive actor and method acting and all kinds of notions about getting inside a character and coming out from there.
Acting aggressively will allow our youth to aspire for better-paid jobs and find alternatives to criminality.
I find acting conservatories really important. I've gone to four different ones, and all of them provided totally different tools for me.
