An actor finds things in the moment with a director and other actors that you don't have time to hand-draw or animate with a computer.

You never really know why you become an actor: it's a visceral thing, an emotional thing.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

I've always thought of acting as a tool to change society. I watch a lot of actors and I see panic in their eyes because they don't know why they act and I know why I act. Whether I'm a good or a bad actor, I know why I do it.

Actors' performances in films are enhanced in a million different ways, down to the choice of camera shot by the director - whether it's in slow motion or whether it's quick cut - or... the choice of music behind the close-up or the costume that you're wearing or the makeup.

Actors' performances do not stand alone in any film, live action or whatever.
