When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.

A word does not frighten the man who in acting feels no fear.

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

I became an actor and because I had success as an actor I became famous. I was acting for quite a while before I got famous television made me famous. I guess that it's television that is responsible for everybody's desire to be famous.

When I was a kid the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was Oh yeah I'll get girls and be famous.

I'm terrified of being too famous. What I'm really afraid of is that the audiences will go into the theater and not be able to forget that it's me that fame will stand in the way of my acting. I want to keep being able to change into different shapes and different personalities.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I get to meet fantastic people and I get to go through so many emotions. For me I have a craving for that. When I'm acting I feel great. It's not to be famous.

For me I never never from the moment I started acting had a desire to be famous.

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person that would be pretty boring.

Acting is not about being famous it's about exploring the human soul.

I've always wanted to get into acting ever since I was younger. I'd put on shows for my family and run around play dress-up all the time. I think I was 4 when I told them I wanted to do movies.

Opponents of capital punishment argue that the state has no right to take a murderer's life. Apparently one fact that abolitionists forget or overlook is that the state is acting not only on behalf of society but also on behalf of the murdered person and the murdered person's family.

Acting is just a way of making a living the family is life.

The principle of acting in good faith is at the heart of decent work.

I spent four months in Prague in these blue rooms reacting to nothing and you basically place your faith in the hands of the director and the special effects co-coordinator and you keep your fingers crossed and hope that the creatures look really scary.

Christ does not save us by acting a parable of divine love he acts the parable of divine love by saving us. That is the Christian faith.

Politicians are usually the first to forget that if you assume someone else is acting in bad faith they will do the same to you. Questioning motives poisons the well.

Faith is not a notion but a real strong essential hunger an attracting or magnetic desire of Christ which as it proceeds from a seed of the divine nature in us so it attracts and unites with its like.

Acting allows me the freedom to let go to be in the moment to be spontaneous. I no longer have the fear of losing of failure.

The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.

Even as far back as when I started acting at 14 I know I've never considered failure.

By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability is simply attracting the best-educated most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.

Acting is not a mystery. There's nothing that I know that other actors don't know. We all act we're all actors we all know the same thing. The only thing that separates us is experience.
