It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.
Whether that's an action film or a comedy or a drama or anything in between, I'm willing to prove that I can play with the big boys.
Many take the roles home with them and live the part. I'm quite happy to leave mine at the studio and return home as I left: simple old Roger Moore.
If based on popularity, people will come to theaters because of my name, then I would be very happy, but it isn't about Daisy, it is about the director and the film and the co-actors.
I snootily say I can't take too many dramatic parts, as it's taking work from actors who aren't funny.
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
I take bits and pieces from everything. But I think the Method can be very isolating, and sometimes it's more about ego than playing the character truthfully.
Only I can play Modi. I say that even at the cost of sounding pompous because I really love him.
Whether arrogantly or what, I view myself simply as an actor.
In all pomposity and humility, I just wanted to show what I could do as an actor, and I jumped when 'Lootera' came my way.
I'm not one of those actors where filmmakers that I admire ask me to be in their movies. I meet them at parties and they're nice to me, but they never ask me to work with them.
I am totally a director's actor.
I definitely play roles that are close to my persona. I was dying to be an actor, my whole life. I just always wanted to be someone else. Then, once I decided that I really thought I was pretty cool, I wanted to see myself.
I am a greedy actor, and I want the best roles to come my way.
I am not an actor who enjoys negative comments on other heroes.
I'm acting with the best actors in the world.
Peter Dinklage doesn't care. He's so cool so you can laugh at it. Most actors, if you laugh they'd just have a nervous breakdown. But he's just, "Yeah, I know. I know."
And the actors tend not to want to watch themselves very often. I'm one of those guys.
With any mannerisms or dialogue, you have to be careful you're not just serving yourself. What happens with improving is a lot of times, if you're not in the framework of the script, you're just making everything easier so it fits you.
There's some part of me, as an actor, that likes attention and validation, but on any given day, depending on the style and volume of it, it can be too much.
The trouble with marrying an actor is they grab you in their arms, hold you close and tell you how wonderful they are.
The level of acting that I bring to films in three dimensions. I hope they make people sign some kind of waiver because if their mind explodes from my acting in 3D, it's not my fault.
Every actor believes in his way of performing.
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
