Pastoral Resources

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

I'm into being a dad, that's where my focus is most of the time. I'm an actor that's my job, but it's not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.

I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.

But I'm an actor and I like to just keep working.

I was very conscious of the actor; watched what he did.

But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.

I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor.

I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren't remembered for anything. I don't mind that.

My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.

Trying different things is very important to me. I see people and want to wear their clothes and drive in their cars for awhile. That's probably one reason I became an actor.

As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.

Billy Campbell who is... I... truly one of the most talented actors today.

I don't think I could be happy as an actor if there was a tyrant on the set.

Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child.

Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn't matter how good you are.

I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.

I've been just like any other working actor, out there looking for stuff.

If you're going to be born ugly and be an actor - the least they can do is let you play Lincoln.
