I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.

I learned a lot about acting - watching not just myself but other actors and learning how to distinguish between two great takes. It's also about one's own taste in performance.

Within the process of filming, unexpected situations occur.

We are now living in a jungle where the strong eats the weak,we are not better than the Arabs to despise them.

I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.

You feel yourself working to show something. I've learned to distrust that feeling.

I'm sure acting is a deeply neurotic thing to do.
