Quotes: |
“ I love acting, but I’m not a fan of stardom. I’m not a hero. I’m an actor. I can do all roles. “ “ I believe that life is an experience ball. You throw it at someone, it picks up their response, it grows. You play with that ball, learning what it teaches you. “ “ My job is to be sincere to my script. I am passionate about what I do. “ “ Planning bores me. I like to go with the flow. Being whimsical is nice, occasionally. It keeps things fresh; there's no expectation. “ “ For me, a film is a collaboration. I can’t do it alone. I’m only as good as my director and my co-actors. “ |
