“Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.”

I have a fairly adequate knowledge of Satanic forces.

The clouds are lined with silver and the glass is half full (though the answers won’t be found at the bottom) Don’t sweat the small stuff

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.

I don’t have to explain anything to anybody.

An hour or two of learning from the masters is usually enough to recharge my artistic batteries.

Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.

If I can keep this up and nothing interferes with my progress, one of these days I might be able to contribute something to the world.

You are who you are meant to be. Dance as if no one’s watching. Love as if it’s all you know. Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

Whatever’s inside making me what I am, it’s like film. Film only works in the dark. Tear it all open and let in the light and you kill it.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people’s neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

Racing is the only time I feel whole.

In the short span of his lifetime, an actor must learn all there is to know, experience all there is to experience, or approach that state as closely as possible.

What better way to die? It’s fast and clean and you go out in a blaze of glory!

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are impaled on the crook of conditioning.

It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child – in school, music, athletics.

Am I in love? Absolutely. I’m in love with ancient philosophers, foreign painters, classic authors, and musicians who have died long ago. I’m a passionate lover.

I went to school to be an actor in Canada and realized I hated auditions once I left, which is a huge problem if you want to get a part.

Actors are just entertainers, even the serious ones. That’s all an actor is. He’s like a serious Bruce Forsyth.

I took a gamble in becoming an actor and my dream job has been realised.

Certainly, I was typed. But what is typing? It is a trademark, a means by which the public recognizes you. Actors work all their lives to achieve that. I got mine with just one picture. It was a blessing.

When you work as actors in this business, you spend a lot of time apart. That’s why a lot of marriages fail. It’s not because of Hollywood, it’s because you don’t spend time together.

You don’t really have to dress a ton of actors. You don’t really have to spend a bunch of money lining up extras to look the time period.

Every actor-performer says this, and it sounds so irritating, but I’m not the most outgoing person.

I want to do entertaining films, where a woman gets the respect of being an actor.
