The reason that I'm an actor, or an artist, is ultimately because I'm trying to paint a self-portrait, and the most complete and beautiful self-portrait that you can.
As actors, you do have to be aware of your audience. You can't act in a vacuum, even if that audience isn't exactly present with you.
I plan on having the credibility and integrity of being a part of an entertainment news program like 'E!,' in addition to being on the actor side as well.
As an actor I want to do as many takes as I can. I wanna shoot the scene... or shoot the shot 'til they make me quit.
As an actor, you're listening to the other person and always trying to be present and take everything they're giving you, but when they're not there, you have to produce that yourself.
I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.
It's a strange thing we do as actors. I'm walking out the door, and I'll say, 'O.K., honey, I'm off to take my clothes off.'
I never try to pander to an audience, and I'm really not concerned with my image. I'm far more interested in stretching my abilities as an actor.
The thing early on that you think is 'wrong' with you, that makes you not fit in with everyone else, becomes the key to your career as an actor. Start embracing it.
The long version of the play is actually an easier version to follow. In all of the cut versions the intense speeches are cut too close together for the audience and the actors.
I've never been in jeopardy, but being an actor is a pretty shady place to be because you never know where your next job is.
What actor do you really take seriously who becomes a singer? It's kind of ridiculous. I can't think of anybody.
Acting is really not what I'm interested in. I'm not an aspiring actor and you should be able to tell.
Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.
Actors have an unusual perspective on clothing. You've really got to know the impact of what you're wearing on the character you're playing.
There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.
I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.
I have my character actor side as a kid and my more leading man side. It's all been beneficial.
I can remember when nobody believed an actor and didn't care what he believed.
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise.
I don't know what it's like to be an actor, where if your show gets canceled, really you're just a bum.
