A good or great performance is like peeling an onion; in every scene you reveal another layer, something the audience hasn't seen until then. They stay involved because they are constantly learning about and discovering the character they are watching. They can't take you for granted and it keeps them hooked.

One of the most important things I've learned about acting is that you can't separate how you live your life and how you practice your art.

That's what our work can do: we remind people that things can change, that wounds can heal, that people can be forgiven, and that closed hearts can open again.

I call this book The Intent to Live because great actors don't seem to be acting, they seem to be actually living.

The rules are what make us better.

Acting is a spiritual quest to touch human beings.
