I think acting is a gift. I look at someone like Ben Kingsley, and he's incredibly charismatic, even when he's not acting. He's an incredibly hard worker, and he has a very specific system that he does with his work.
I wouldn't say it's fallen off any. We still have some great players on the field.

I like movies, because it's kind of a combination of every art, it's like it's picture, it's story, it's music, it's kind of like a clash and a collide of every art. It's really neat.
I think acting is a gift. I think certain people for some reason just have a gift that they were meant to perform.
I don't really have an ambition to become the Rolling Stones, or anything like that. For me, it's just playing music is kind of a transcendent, amazing gift, so when people come together and they play, I think it's a real special thing.
There's nothing better than actually getting to watch the person and see his or her mannerisms.
Often times, if a character is pretty straightforward, he or she is not as interesting to portray.
