I have enjoyed acting, but getting into production is hectic. I am not made for it.

The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.

It's a confidence booster for me to be known as a female who can take on any action, which is nice, to have that reputation, because then people know that when they hire me, I can actually do the physical stuff.

I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes, and clothes. It's preferable when it's not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute.

After appearing for eight seasons as a beloved character on 'Supernatural,' it's not surprising that I get most of my recognition on the street from that, and it happens with some frequency. But I'm not a guy who gets recognized often.

Precision, directness, and quickness are what human beings are good at. What we have never been good at - in our past, at least - is figuring out the impact, the consequences, of what our skills have allowed us to do.

If you are going to be a character for the long-term you can't just imitate, you have to bring yourself to it.

Amitabh Bachchan is the greatest actor that we have in the country.

I'm very much a believer in the character always heading for something or after something. But that doesn't always have to be a selfish thing - it could be an altruistic thing as well. You can't play good; you can't play evil. But you have to think: what does this person want to happen in this situation?

You're always trying to find common ground with whatever you do, but you want to not be thinking about yourself when you're performing a play. The job is getting yourself out of the way and letting the character go about the scenes.

The real danger is not inaction. The real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like action is happening when in fact nothing is being done.

I find old women at weddings and funerals attractive; I have this weird mortality thing.

Yes, I am acting in my singles, but that is very different from acting in a movie.

I'm not going to take up an acting class in order to get a fight. That is not what I've worked my entire life to do. It's not what I've been living for.

Johnny Depp is probably the best actor.

As I've always been open to learning, directors have helped me with the nuances of acting.

As an actor, you keep learning. There's no end to it.

The acting part is easy; it's the preparing - lifting weights and getting your body in tip-top shape - that's the hard part.

You scratch a preacher a little bit, and you'll get an actor.

Leadership is a mindset in action. So don't wait for the title. Leadership isn't something that anyone can give you - you have to earn it and claim it for yourself.
