One of my favorite actors is Paul Newman. He could tell so much with a single look, whereas some actors would need an entire five page monologue to give off the feeling of what he could say with just a single look.
I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people.
I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.
But I'm not as bad as Al Pacino - he doesn't even know what month it is half the time when he's working.
I think an actor is very like a sportsman. You have periods where you're in terrific form. Everything you touch seems to work, and come right. And other times, when you're working really hard, it's okay, but it isn't scintillating.
I think it will be, as always, interesting to compare different portrayals of Hitchcock. I'm very honored that I'm playing the same part as Anthony Hopkins.
I've always said, 'Besides Kiefer Sutherland, I talked on a cell phone more than any other actor on a TV show.'
I don't think I have the pulling power of Jim Carrey.
Andy Serkis is one of the best actors I have ever worked with. He might be the best actor I have ever worked with.
Amitabh Bachchan is the greatest actor that we have in the country.
I guess 'Scarface' was the Cuban Al Pacino.
I want to be known as the Daniel Day-Lewis of TV dads.
If I am duly compared to Marlon Brando at all, well, I can only think of The Teahouse of the 'Shanghai Noon,' that they're comparing me to that!
I did 'Gangs of New York' with Martin Scorsese, and they used to call me 'Little Joe Pesci' on the set.
When I did 'Spamalot,' the joke was that I was a foot taller than Tim Curry.
I've been compared to Jude Law my whole career.
I clearly haven't made a good enough impression on people. My go-to line when it's the resume game is that I'm either Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds.
A campaign appearance is judged much like that of an actor. Is the performance persuasive? Not what is said, and I find that too bad.
The American actor is much more used to being physically relaxed and using their bodies better, and English actors are a little bit unrelaxed, but they're better at vocal technique.
In terms of the parallels, I've never related less to a character than Riggan.
There's a great deal of echoing going on in 'Old School.' Mr. Piven, who played the upstart outsider in the 1994 campus comedy 'PCU,' has crossed over into playing the stiff martinet.
I'm certainly not going to play any of Matt Damon's roles in the future. But he will eventually grow into mine, since he'll be around for a long time.
I don't think anyone is hiring me because I look like Chris Hemsworth.
I'm no Zac Efron.
Woody Allen is a better actor than anybody from the Actors Studio, and he can be anybody he says he is.
