Many times I’ve sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can Picture Quote #1

That’s one of the great privileges, being an actor, is that someone pays you and sends you off to learn about something that otherwise you’d never know about Picture Quote #1

I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I’m also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor, there’s going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they’re the more dangerous lies to come to terms with Picture Quote #1

If you’re a musician or actor, you know that if you’re successful, some level of fame goes along with that. You’re prepared. But how often does that happen to a programmer? Picture Quote #1

I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I’m an actor, that’s all. I just do what I do Picture Quote #1

As an actor, there’s a bit of you that’s decided you want to be looked at and watched, but there’s a paradoxical bit that wants to run away Picture Quote #1

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it’s a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you’re not playing yourself Picture Quote #1

My primary instinct as an actor is not the big transformation. It’s thrilling if a performer can do that well, but that’s not me. Often with actors, it’s a case of witnessing a big party piece but wondering afterwards, where’s the substance? Picture Quote #1

It is easier to get an actor to be a cowboy than to get a cowboy to be an actor Picture Quote #1

An actor would be foolish to do something that might hold up the picture, or more importantly incapacitate him. If an actor does do a stunt he needs to make sure a stunt man stands by to see that it’s done correctly Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldnt make it to the play. I didn’t think anything of it Picture Quote #1

I acted in junior high in the junior high school group, and then when I got into senior high I was, you know, the main actor of the senior high school Picture Quote #1

I look at smoking as a crutch, and as an actor I would like strip away as many crutches as possible Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to be an actor. I never want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star. The whole idea of having to act is too gruesome. It’s too ambitious for me Picture Quote #1

Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to be an actor who... I just plod on and try to keep my mouth shut, mind my own business. I find the whole thing about people’s lives... I can’t understand it. I’m always astonished that people want to know anything about me Picture Quote #1
