He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor.
Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn't matter how good you are.
To be a good actor you have to feel life and observe life.
Acting for me is like a ping-pong game. That's the secret of acting. When you have a really good actor, I always want to be as good as he is or she is.
I experience psychic phenomena, so people think I must be crazy. But you have to be accessible and intelligent to be a good actor. I might not have gotten the best grades in school, but I have a very high level of emotional intelligence. You have to be open to receive.
Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
Cannes is a circus, so you have to have fun with it. Everything suddenly becomes funny. And the promotion of a movie - that's where you really need to be a good actor. You need to make journalists believe that what you're saying is just for them and you've never said it before, even when you're talking about the same film over and over again.
I really look up to people who experiment in all areas and I think Johnny Depp is a really good actor to look up to because he's done so many genres of films.
I never was able to do karate. That's calling me a good actor. I act like I can do anything.
The thing is, I love a great death scene - no good actor doesn't. Sorry, any actor, I should say.
