Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

The humility to prepare and the self-confidence to bring it off.

Don't waste your time striving for perfection; instead, strive for excellence - doing your best.

Have a very good reason for everything you do.

If I wasn't an actor, I think I'd have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights.

Surely we have always acted; it is an instinct inherent in all of us. Some of us are better at it than others, but we all do it.

The art of persuasion. The actor persuades himself, first, and through himself, the audience.

Striving for perfection is the greatest stopper there is. You'll be afraid you can't achieve it. It's your excuse to yourself for not doing anything. Instead, strive for excellence, doing your best.

Use your weaknesses; aspire to the strength.

Hip-hop is rock & roll. What the hell is Wu-Tang but Motorhead?

When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film.

The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions, Who still feels irrational things within her.
