By acquiescing in an act that causes such suffering to a living creature, who among us is not diminished?
I did some acting in high school, I knew I really liked it.
I'm less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.
I started acting when I got a summer job at the Everyman Theater Company with the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
Love is many kind acts accumulated over time that leave us feeling wonderful.
In elementary and high school, I never considered acting as a profession.
If we don't act, drilling will be allowed only 3 miles off Florida's east coast beaches.
I have what we call a 'symphony act.' I'm the only comedian, I think, in the country that does it.
I'm glad acting sunk its teeth into me, because now I can't imagine doing anything else.
Make daily small deposits... Our lives are defined by small acts of greatness.
With 'Shameless,' 'Homeland' and 'American Horror Story,' these are all shows that don't follow a particular mold, and they are out-there. The acting is spectacular.
I always wanted to act. I guess I've always been a bit of a drama queen.
The minute I get a big head and start acting like the big man on campus, it's all downhill from there.
Even if I think in English, it's more a language of acting than French.
Acting is wonderful therapy for people. Instead of suffering for yourself, someone will do it for you.
The repeated action of working and playing acts like a trowel that uncovers a hidden structure under the earth. It is an action that deepens and develops.
Almost all heroism is designed to make you inert by placing it in a context that you can't possibly act on.
The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.
Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
At least when you're acting you can be someone. In front of the camera you have to be yourself. And who am I?
That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.
