crazy people acting
Movies are hard to make, and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best. You don't want to work with people who don't care or who are acting out some neurotic, crazy thesis on the set.
names people hey
As an actor who's starting out, you can't say, "Hey, I'm too good for this." You gotta do it, because people see you, your name gets around, and it has a cumulative effect.
people i-can walking
I can get around pretty easily. People don't expect to see me walking around.
long people want
I always say people can call me anything they want as long as they don't call me late for supper.
thinking years people
I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.
nice people fame
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.
clueless technology people
There are certain things I am clueless about as far as the new technologies. I see these people in front of these computers all day and I don't know what they are doing - they are doing something, obviously - with Facebook, Instagram and all that. I am aware of it, but basically not in touch.
people sake fit
I love to find new people. It's not for the sake of their being new; it's because if you find someone who perfectly fits a part, that's such a great thing.
people actors may
I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don't be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.
pay-the-price people acting
One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
people needs want
The hardest thing about being famous is that ... in a conversation everybody's agreeing with what you're saying. ... You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.
people feelings trying
It's important not to indicate. People don't try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.
lucky successful whatever
I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.
stopped studied studio
When I was 15, 16, I studied with Stella Adler at the Conservatory of Acting, then I stopped again and went to the Actors Studio when I was 18.
