This acting's serious! And I really respect those actors. It's a tough business to be able to be something you're not and be natural and convince people on camera.

I believe acting is very physical and when you have to fight or do those kinds of things it takes a lot of respect not to allow yourself to go off and hurt yourself or someone else.

I keep it real normal like I don't try to act like a celebrity or say that just because I'm on a TV show I can do other types of TV. I take it very seriously and I respect the art of acting.

I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.

Bad acting comes in many bags various odors. It can be performed by cardboard refugees from an Ed Wood movie reciting their dialogue off an eye chart or by hopped-up pros looking to punch a hole through the fourth wall from pure ballistic force of personality like Joe Pesci in a bad mood. I can respect bad acting that owns its own style.

More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.

Idleness does drive me crazy but I'd rather read or write than do anything just to work. A kind of respect has been instilled in me for acting: I love it too much to ever have a bad relationship with it.

What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view that's how I approached the part.

I can walk into a room and create a good ambience. I was taught all about this back when I studied acting. One of the things they would teach you is how to send out positive signals when you enter a room. I am glad I learned this.

It has been argued that British girls are incapable of deep feeling or brilliant acting owing to their lack of temperament. This I am positive is not true.
