Rebounding in practice and rebounding in games are two completely different things.

Sometimes, when actors reach out to their characters, they're nowhere in sight. They need to find something inside of them. And then the characters are right there. As a director, I want them to find the character that's already inside them, instead of trying to manufacture or manipulate or make something up. That's not really honest or true.

Public perception is obviously important to an actor's career.

You don't take a job in acting at all expecting 25 years in and a pension.

My dad had been an actor... not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?

I have only a couple of Super 6s now, but I do have quite a few black-face Fenders around the studio. They all have slightly different character and tone, so I keep collecting them.

I do feel that there is a little confusion in people's minds between the real me and sitcom Miranda. I am pleased that people identify with the character, but I think they want me to be her and are disappointed that the real Miranda doesn't actually fall into graves or be that rubbish at life.

I started as a writer; I started writing when I was little. The acting and directing was an outgrowth of my desire to tell stories.

Unfortunately, in Nevada - and more specifically, in Las Vegas and Reno - we've experienced incidents of human trafficking. In Las Vegas, the average trafficking victim is as young as 14. We must act to prevent this disturbing criminal activity from occurring in our communities.

I want to attract the best people into teaching.

Acting in different languages doesn't stop you from growing; on the contrary, for an artiste, it helps a lot.

We want people to be active so you'll be happier and be more yourself.

I don't mind playing a supporting character if it has some substance.

While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance.

I can't not work - I love acting.

It can be a miserable profession, acting, because you always want what you can't have.

When I did 'Kaaka Muttai,' I was a very raw actor. Director Manikandan brought out the best in me.

Facts are stupid until brought into connection with some general law.
