Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.

I stopped acting because I had other passions I wanted to pursue.

I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.

Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.

Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.

I feel like after acting, the other half of why I love this business is the opportunity to work with and meet people who inspire you. That it pays my rent is a good bonus.

I argued that I didn't have any of the attributes to pose for cheesecake. I said I would have to make good on my acting ability, which was the only attribute I could offer.

For lack of any clearer idea, I just started acting one day. It had been in the back of my head for a while, but I think in some ways I was afraid to do it, and finally I just stepped up.

A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't. The present we know is only a movie of the past.

Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone.

You have to really concentrate on piano or acting. You can't do both.
