Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

You know young actors say all the time 'Should I use my own life experience?' And my response is 'What choice do you have?'

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself and your imagination and experience but actually in the end you're not playing yourself.

From my experience I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.

Normally I love to go to the movies and when I see a character portrayed by different actors at different ages it kind of pops a little bit for me. It brings me out of the movie experience. Now we have the technology to cure that.

As an actor you just want to work and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.

I think it makes people in the Pentagon kind of nervous to know that chemical agents and environmental factors could cause so much damage in terms of what may happen in the future.

A variety of factors contribute to the price of gasoline in the United States. These factors include worldwide supply demand and competition for crude oil taxes regional differences in access to gasoline supplies and environmental regulations.

Factory farming is one of the biggest contributors to the most serious environmental problems. The meat industry causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars trucks planes and ships in the world.

More and more companies are reaching out to their suppliers and contractors to work jointly on issues of sustainability environmental responsibility ethics and compliance.

There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place!

I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education but understood that this is what I wanted to do.

And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film gain the benefit of my education and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.

Unfortunately the real achievements of children on the ground became debased and devalued because Labor education secretaries sounded like Soviet commissars praising the tractor production figures when we know that those exams were not the rock-solid measures of achievement that children deserve.

In Mexico theater is very underground so if you're a theater actor it's very difficult to make a living. But it's also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education.

Competitiveness is really what it costs you per man-hour to get you what you want. In other words there's an education level that plays into the mix and so if it's inexpensive to buy an hour of real good education in places like China versus the U.S. that factors in.

One of the factors a country's economy depends on is human capital. If you don't provide women with adequate access to healthcare education and employment you lose at least half of your potential. So gender equality and women's empowerment bring huge economic benefits.

My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.

Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.

For every successful actor or actress there are countless numbers who don't make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you're told you're too tall or you're too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You're rejected for your education you're rejected for this or that and it's really tough.

Every actor dreams of getting a big break a big opportunity.

I'm a journeyman actor and I don't ever want to forget that. With romantic-lead dreams.
