I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think 'Gee there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.

I go to the movies a lot and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like to find them offering no more surprises.

I had done some flimflam movies but I didn't understand what being an actor meant anymore.

I can be in 20 movies. But I'll never be an actor.

So one way or another I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.

Well you know what? The actor still gets up in the morning if he's still got something to work with you go out there and you do it. Never quit!

As an actor it's more interesting to play a nerd than anything else. It's a lot more fun - you don't worry about 'what's my hair like?' in the morning or 'which is my great angle?'

There is both a skill factor and an effort factor in dream recall. People can develop dream recall skills such as lying still in the morning and writing down whatever comes to mind.

The crew are the faces you see every morning and last at night before you go home. I spend more time with those people than I do with my friends and family so they're forever a part of you and who you become as an actor so I hope I see them again.

Most of the top actors and actresses may be working in ten or twelve films at the same time so they will give one director two hours and maybe shoot in Bombay in the morning and Madras in the evening. It happens.

Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is 'The X Factor.' Luck is great but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work.

What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because as long as you have been in a movie that has made money you will always get another job.

Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.

When an actor has money he doesn't send letters he sends telegrams.

Then you've got Georgetown and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me even away from being a basketball player.

Well Mom and Dad are both actors and I've spent a lot of time watching my mom on stage and a lot of time on set with my dad so it was very much a part of my growing up.

So from a very young age my mom tells me that I wanted to be Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then I realized that he was an actor so I pursued that.

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor my mom an actress and both singers dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
