While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a childs imagination.

If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.

You are not just, "This is the way I play it every night." You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, "I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently."

I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.

Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.

My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
