I think good actors - good, collaborative actors who see themselves as leaders in a given production - can and should offer ideas that have nothing to do with wanting to direct themselves.
It frustrates me if I'm not good at something, so I do it until I get good at it.
Unfortunately, most actors want to play off their own personal mystique and good looks and whatever, but that will only carry you but so far.
I don't mind being the brunt of a joke, so long as it's a good one.
Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.
There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.

If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
I'm not a Method actor. I don't believe acting should be psychodrama. I look within myself and see what I can find to play the role with. If I'm playing a blind man, I don't go around blindfolded for days. A lot of good actors would, but I don't go i...
I brought my first fall/winter line to New York, and it was confiscated by U.S. Customs. They asked, 'What is the value of this?' I said, 'I'm not so good with existential questions.'
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
Ladies, if you want to know the way to my heart... good spelling and good grammar, good punctuation, capitalize only where you are supposed to capitalize, it's done.
