You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.

I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.

You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.

That's pretty much what every scene is about, getting people to see your point of view. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.

I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. It's not right. Someone's gotta say it. They said it. I applaud them.
