I don't care about my personal acting career anymore. I'm done with it. After 10 years of making movies and doing better than I ever could have imagined, I sort of had to ask myself: 'What am I supposed to do with all of this success that I have had?'
The legal profession, politics and acting are very closely tied: the whole point is to have an idea and get it across to a listener, whether it is one person or five thousand in a hall.
This is the high point of my day, ... This movie is about how any single act by any single person put out of context is damnable.
You risk working with this director, you risk making this movie, you risk working with another actor you don't know. It makes your heart beat faster. And it keeps you interested.
Politics and acting are very closely tied. The job is to convince.
I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.
The most important definition of an actor, the job of the actor, is to serve the writer, not yourself. Way too many actors serve themselves.
If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.
If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.
Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.
In film, movies schedules are based on three things: actors availabilities, when are sets being built, when you can rent the place youre going to film in.
Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions youd rather not know the answers to.
Clarence Darrow was a unique and courageous man. Several of my favourite actors have played Darrow Henry Fonda, Orson Welles and Spencer Tracy.
Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
