actors well-known wells
It's well known that actors are lousy writers.
heart numbers scripts
When an actor asks you to read his script, your heart sinks. The number of scripts I've been given by actors that are so unbelievably terrible!
thinking watches done
You finish a movie and you think, there, you've done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks.
lonely shy alone-time
Well, it's true that I've never been solitary, although I spend a lot of time alone. I've never felt lonely or been shy.
names enormous
Unless you are an enormous name, you never stop auditioning.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.
thinking actors cases
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
mind answers minutes
Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.
play guy everyday
I would love to play your common, everyday guy, but I never get cast as that.
moon stills dies
I would still like to go to the moon before I die.
acting roles break
Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal!
based estimate exposure people shade twice
When people in the shade estimate UVB exposure based on an eyeball assessment, they're getting about twice as much UVB as they think.
