I loved to sing and I loved to act, and I didn't want to continue opera because I wanted to act.
When I was younger, I started taking singing lessons and dance and acting. I just started acting first because that's how everything happened.
Voice acting is very creative, especially 'Star Wars' voice acting, because there's so much you have to imagine.
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
I said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.
Everyone will experience the consequences of his own acts. If his act are right, he'll get good consequences; if they're not, he'll suffer for it.
When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short; there's no history to fall back on.

Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.
Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean, we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets, too.
It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.
I love acting. When I'm acting I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm just having a wonderful time. The nightmare is just getting the work to happen.
