But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.

I still think I'm going to do something else when I grow up

Nobody has a franchise on what is good.

I saw and I met a lot of people who were in the field. It also provided a context in which I came to respect what the actor did, because I saw how difficult it actually was to do.

I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit

Then I realized that to be really good at this requires a lot of energy and concentration and skill.

Acting is not about knowing all this stuff; it's about character.
