It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.
BEN KINGSLEY

There are some directors, lesser in confidence or skill, who make the actor feel very uncomfortable because you feel you’re auditioning for them, every day, and that’s a terrible feeling on the set.

I think that most actors attempt to keep in touch with the child.
