My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage.
'Entourage' is a very, very, very unique acting experience. I could go in to win 1000 Academy Awards, and it would never be as much fun as the show.
There is a fundamental difference between the Polish experience of the state and the Russian experience. In the Polish experience, the state was always a foreign power. So, to hate the state was a patriotic act.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
I believe the Patriot Act strikes the right balance needed to protect our freedom and security.
It is within your power at this very moment not only to consumate an act of enlightened statesmanship, but, as the instrument of the Almighty, to restore to freedom a race of men.
I know you hear horror stories about child actors, but I think in my family when I did start acting it was never a big deal.
Sweden is a small country and, well, our family's pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn't like the sound of just being 'the fourth acting Skarsgard.'
There's no traditional three act structure - or beginning, middle and end - to a family tree. By its nature, it has almost infinite different branches, or episodes, to explore in every direction.
People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you're going. They want to hear you talk about your family.
Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.
I never thought I'd be making a living off of acting - it's still kind of a shock for my family and friends to see my face on TV every Wednesday night.
The only thing I don't like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints.
I'm surrounded by friends and family who are not that impressed by celebrity. They don't have any problem telling me I'm acting like an idiot or I'm not that funny.
Acting is a precarious business. I have had periods where I felt like I couldn't get arrested, but you have to see it as a long game.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
I still enjoy acting. I love the moment in front of the camera, but it's all the other moments that I don't enjoy. The 'business' aspect of it, the gossip.
Don't make being a girl or a victim part of your stand-up act. If you encounter sexism in the business, don't bring it on stage; it's not funny.
Yet our small business owners across the country are unfairly losing potential interest income on a daily basis until the Business Checking Freedom Act becomes law.
Now that I've got some films under my belt, I have the courage of my convictions regarding acting. It gives me a leg to stand on.
