When Honor's sun declines and Wealth takes wings Then Learning shines the best of precious things.

Learning lines is my biggest challenge.

I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem but television is a little different because we shot those shows the whole way through.

Most sailing ships take what they call trainees who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can't just ride along. You're learning to steer the ship navigation you're pulling lines keeping a lookout in the galley you're cooking.

It's not just about filming you go to awards and interviews too. I enjoy all of it even learning my lines!

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

I'm pretty focused on my career and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines it's gonna be learning my lines.

If anybody wanted to photograph my life they'd get bored in a day. 'Heres Matt at home learning his lines. Here's Matt researching in aisle six of his local library'. A few hours of that and they'd go home.

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.

Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
