I think any actor who talks in beatings-up is just talking himself up. I tend to not bring them up.
You can always tell an actor by the bored look in their eye whenever someone else is talking.
When I walked into the room to meet Michael Landon, it was clear he was a big-time star. To be around him was as far from Charles Ingalls as you could get. The hair was the same - no one touched his hair.
Today some actors get a little full of themselves about what they're doing.
I do all my own stunts!
I'm an actor; I have an ego that is sometimes disproportionate to the reality of the situation.
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
You can meet lots of actors who are in their own world and do their own thing, and they have no idea what's going on and they don't know anyone's name around them.
I don't like actors who try to talk directors into making their part bigger and that's really lame.
When actors talk about research, they're just patting themselves on the back.
I like approbation. Any actor who tells you they don't is lying.
I think most actors . . . We are insecure, in general. I think to be an actor, you need to have an ego, but then, our ego is our worst enemy.
Sometimes, as an actor - and I've witnessed this with other actors that I've worked with - you don't realize that it's not all about the actor.
Every actor is like, 'I could direct!'
I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.
The best way to tell an actor he's going to be working more and much harder is to appeal to his ego.
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
There's nothing more boring than actors talking about acting.
I'm an actor. And like a lot of actors, it's very important that everybody loves you all the time.
I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.
Actors don't really sit around discussing the parts they've played - just in case someone says, 'That was crap!'
I am an actor and of course I respond very positively to flattery.
I've worked opposite so many male actors whose egos have been so delicate that it was just so hard to do the work.
'Toast' is based on a bunch of actors but especially one guy. I worked with him on a film and realise that if I mentioned any actor who was around his age but more successful, it would drive him insane. So from sheer devilment, I'd do it on purpose.
A lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we're saving people's lives or something.
