There is a fine line between passion and gas.

Involve yourself every day. Work hard and figure out how to love acting all day, every day. It's getting into a made-up situation and making it good and making it real and just playing, just practicing and playing. Like the musicians that I played piano with: they never expect to be rich or famous, but they, for the sheer joy of it, play every day, all day.

In fact you can begin to discover and investigate whether you are an actor or not, whether you're in my view, qualified for a life in this profession or in this endeavor by checking yourself out and acting every day, getting plays and scripts and getting together with people and divvying up the parts and acting in one way or another, or writing things.

My life has been transformed by great teachers all the way.

It's nice to play a character that has a soulful, dependent, close relationship. It must mean my character is interesting in some way.

It's a delight to trust somebody so completely.

No matter how you travel, it's still you going.
