If you want to reach every person in the audience, it's not about being bigger, it's about going deeper.

Being an actor is a religious calling because you've been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition.

Acting is fun. Don't let that get around.

The greatest piece of acting or music or sculpture or what-have-you always has its roots in the truth of human emotion.

I'll tell you this: you cannot escape the impact of emotion, whether it's in a big theater or a tiny one. If you have it, it inflates you — correction, 'inflates' is not a good word. If you have it, it infects you and the audience. If you don't have it — don't bother; just say the lines as truthfully as you are capable of doing. You can't fake emotion. It immediately exposes the fact that you ain't got it.

Listen with your gut, not your head.
