I'm one of those fortunate actors who gets to work pretty much every day. I've had a run of good fortune and work with some terrific people who have hired me.
When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.
When actors talk about research, they're just patting themselves on the back.
People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.
The staff, stage managers, ushers all behaved as if they respected the actors.
There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.
Actors should be timeless and impersonal.
Actors always have opinions.
I've worked with Steven Spielberg three times. I'm proud to say that I'm one of those actors that continues to get hired by the same directors.
Good actors are a dime a dozen, but I want actors that are gonna be part of my team and collaborative.
When I interview somebody, I look at their resume to see what they've done, who they've worked with, and how many times. If they've gotten repeat work. Those are the kinds of actors I want to hire.
There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.
Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time.
It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.
It's a lot more fun for actors to cry and rant and rave, or have a drug problem or a drinking problem.
