I really specifically love acting and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life but for the next few years I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity and that drives me to want to be good at that.

I've been in fights but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor I'm not proud of it.

What I try to do is factor in how people use computers what people's problems are and how these technologies can get applied to those problems. Then I try to direct the various product groups to act on this information.

In the practical world of computing it is rather uncommon that a program once it performs correctly and satisfactorily remains unchanged forever.

The first work of the director is to set a mood so that the actor's work can take place so that the actor can create. And in order to do that you have to communicate communicate with the actors. And direction is about communication on all levels.

The interest in the supernatural in a very generic sense and in the spiritual is not in itself a factor that helps the communication of the Christian faith.

I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.

Communication is the key and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.

Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid or to change to a belief in anything else.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

Unless it's a specific accent or something about physicality you have to change I am generally not such a conscious actor.

I like to change characters and then slowly I believe the audience treat me as like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this - a movie star will say 'How can I change the script to suit me?' and a movie actor will say. 'How can I change me to suit the script?'

Actors are agents of change. A film a piece of theater a piece of music or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

Movies always are open to being remade because times change so much and the tempo of movies changes. I think of it like a James Bond. They can have different actors play the same role... I've had people come up to me and say 'We want to remake 'The Jerk' with so and so.' And I say 'Fine.' It just doesn't bother me. It's an honor actually.

It is change continuing change inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is but the world as it will be.

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

For an actor you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products they're not turning down a car they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.

We're one of the forces that causes actors to fasten seat belts before they take off chasing the bad guy in the car... or removes some of the cigarette smoking on television.

What's monotonous about being an actor and often makes me want to throw in the towel or drive a car off a bridge is the auditioning - the waiting around.

You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether he's a doctor an actor a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character then your audience will believe you.

If I had done what I was programmed to do I would now be sitting in a car factory looking at the sizes of wheels or wondering how to get credit to start a new factory in Russia.

They had some really cool rigged cars and things that were different that they would tow behind the camera car that were actually on these trailers that manipulated side to side and stuff like they were getting hit and actually put the actor right in the middle of the chase.

When I was in New York I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
