“Doing jobs that are completely different to the last thing I did pushes me as an actor to change as much as I can. It would be easy for me to stay in a similar vein of characters or jobs, but I'm drawn to challenging myself.” I CanDifferentCharacterWould BeJobsLastsActorsEasyChallengesVeinsChallenging Myself Author:Richard Madden

“... most of all the actor will love the boys and girls, the men and women, who sit in the cheapest seats, in the very last row of the top gallery. They have given more than they can afford to come. In the most self-effacing spirit of fellowship they are listening to catch every word, watching to miss no slightest gesture or expression. To save his life the actor cannot help feeling these nearest and dearest. He cannot help wishing to do his best for them. He cannot help loving them best of all.” MenSelfHelpingFeelingsLastsSpiritGirlActorsGivenWishBoysMissingHe ManExpressionListeningMen And WomenSeatsGesturesFellowshipGalleryBoy And Girl Author:Minnie Maddern Fiske

“After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn't looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know? I don't see him as an actor.

“I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is completely death is if you're bored, because that boredom will show in your work. So there was an inherent challenge in trying to keep it fresh, because it's something that I'm familiar with, but the real draw for me was at long last to work with Halle. She and I had come close to working on two other films together prior to this one that unfortunately had fallen apart for various reasons.” IfsMenTryingYearsLongMadeTwoRealReasonShowsTogetherLastsFilmActorsChallengesCareersOne ThingDrawsVariousFamiliarBoredFallenBoredomCopInherentUniformsSeventeen Author:Benjamin Bratt
“I don't want to restrict the life of a play to a particular production. The original actors might leave after the first six months, and I want the play to last 30 or 40 years.
