Anything negative that happens to you in life can be turned into a positive as far as acting is concerned. You can draw on your experiences - it's far better than any research.
I liked to explore different arts. But when I started acting, I knew this was the medium I want to be in for the rest of my life. Stories onscreen affect me the most.
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.
I'm not looking to be a trophy. When not acting, I spend my time studying metaphysics and quantum mechanics to keep my life as grounded as I can.
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 acted in theater and I took film classes when I was 12 and just obsessed over it. I loved it and spent hours and hours in the film studio learning and watching.
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 feel like music and acting are so much my love, and they're so much equal in my eyes. I couldn't really choose between the two.
I'd love to be in a feature film, and I don't just mean in a starring role - it could be a small part. And I would like to act in television, to do comedy and drama.
A dream my girlfriend and I have is to move to New York for a year or two because we just love the city. I would take some acting classes.
Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.
A human being becomes human not through the casual convergence of certain biological conditions, but through an act of will and love on the part of other people.
My father and I used to watch movies all the time. That was our bonding time, so that's when I kind of fell in love with acting.
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
