The life of an actor is a bit easier to take if you admit you're bonkers.

The first step to a better audition is to give up character and use yourself.

Creating relationship is the heart of acting. It is basic. It is essential.

Conflict is what creates drama. The more conflict actors find, the more interesting the performance.

If you were an actor, anybody could go on Broadway and take a George Carlin hour and do it on stage as a one man show. They're all stand alone essays.

The longer I'm alive, the more I realize how little I know. Pretending that you know everything about every topic, and being very vocal about it? That's an instant turnoff.

Revenge is like a ghost... It takes over every man it touches... Its thirst cannot be quenched... Until the last man standing has fallen.
