The actor becomes an emotional athlete.

I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.

It used to worry me what people said about me. I'm learning not to worry as much. Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don 't take objection to it, because that's the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.

A lot of acting is private time.

I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing; the only way is to work at my craft.
