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.

I fell in love with theater there and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education and then if you want to pursue acting go to graduate school.

I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.

Under the administration of George W. Bush you will recall federal spending grew pretty significantly. At the same time the number of people directly employed by the federal government shrank. One of the factors that explained the difference was contracting.

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading I must finish by acting.

I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there doing my own thing... getting back to reality.

Italy has piled up huge public debt because the successive governments were too close to the life of ordinary citizens too willing to please the requests of everybody thereby acting against the interests of future generations.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Now that I'm more mature in a funny way I can even appreciate that I've bad to become more aware of my body. Since I've chosen acting as my career I have to keep my weight down anyway-I've been used to it for years so it's no problem. And there's nothing I can't do.

Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it Brando knew it.

One of the things I like about acting is that in a funny way I come back to myself.

I think a lot of humor is about distracting yourself. Pretend you're not trying to make it funny. Because for some reason the effort to be funny smells like sulphur in our culture.

I mean sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor and they just don't deliver because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful and they get that mixed up sometimes or don't even notice that that's the thing.

Blunders no only friendship binds us to honesty - attracting crypts of mushrooms in the wake of our snowboards.

Why do we go around acting as though everything was friendship and reliability when basically everything everywhere is full of sudden hate and ugliness?
