“The enemies of acting are mood and attitude and other general homogenized disruptive entities. Whereas acting is about action - doing - and unless you can figure out a way to craft in an imaginative reality to which you don't submit, you're going to be out of control. You'll flip out. The job is to be surprised.”

“You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.”

“I'm coming from the notion that acting is an art. It is not a business. It is about building characters, not about selling personalities.”

“In a spiritual sense, a positive attitude may help you get through chemotherapy and surgery and radiation and what have you. But a positive mental attitude does not cure cancer - any more than a negative mental attitude causes cancer.”

“Our players have a fantastic attitude, and people are going to see a Madrid side with a lot of talent.”

“I developed a nutty attitude where I'd think, If some guy really loves me he doesn't care if I'm fat. I'd come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.”
