As an actor I am always waiting for my luck to run out.
Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them!
I always wanted to be an actor. I was one of those lucky kids - or cursed kids - who always knew what he wanted to do.
I think I must be one of the only actors I know who has never even auditioned for a small part in 'Eastenders.'
The part an actor played on stage was once written on a separate roll of paper.
I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.
When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this.
I never achieved my first goal in the National Actors Theatre, which is to have a permanent Acting Company.
As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.
I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
I'm a working actor, so I do pretty much whatever comes along because it's my job.
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
I think most actors feel an obligation to do right by the people they're playing.
If I have anything to offer as an actor, it's only my ability to make the person real.
Some politicians that I've seen have been brilliant with the public. They almost speak with the skill of an actor.
If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.
I've always been a material-based actor. That's what I've done, the choices I've made - like a heat-seeking missile.
And I knew that, being an actor, you have to take the rough with the smooth and the highs with the lows. That's how it is.
At this point, I'm happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I'm passionate about.
