I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life if I can.

Corporations consumers and citizens must begin acting in concert to create a powerful third pillar of social transformation if we hope to meet the social challenges we currently face with equal force. This begins with corporations that choose to alter how they practice capitalism in two ways to serve the greater good.

Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me.

People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.

Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for.

I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish and someone who is passionate.

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

I hit the ground running without a lot of training so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out I was going to do that. I lived those characters I brought them home with me.

It's like kids playing house: 'You play the father I'll play the mother.' You know you dress up you play they pay you go home. It's a game - acting's a game.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

When I arrived at Columbia I gave up acting and became interested in all things French. French poetry French history French literature.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses psychology courses history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

In civilized life where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.

But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.

I love acting. It's my playground it let's me explore. But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.

A large part of acting is just pretending. You get to work with these other great make-believers all making believe as hard as they can.

To me acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

I fell in love with theater there and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education and then if you want to pursue acting go to graduate school.

I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading I must finish by acting.

I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there doing my own thing... getting back to reality.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
