I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.
I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.
It's a vain craft, acting.
In the world of acting, many are thin but few are talented.
Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.
I mean everyone, from Al Pacino to Murphy Guyer, are phenomenal actors.
I want to act every second of every day.
I'd say that acting is a side project for Jack.
Every actor will say there are no small roles. And that is true.
For me, I just am so grateful to be an actor.
Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.
Everybody loves great actors.
Acting was never planned.
But as I grew up as a child, falling in love with the theater and Shakespeare, my heroes were Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud.
I became an actor because I couldn't not.
Actors are crazy or we wouldn't be doing this.
I - you know, I'm not an actor.
My parents were not theatrical at all.
Acting is in my blood.
Good acting is good acting, whether it's on stage, on TV, or in films.
Orson Welles, who said to Anita Bryant, Stop picketing me. What I said was I was a thespian. Never got a dinner!
Actors are bloody marvelous at hiding.
Finally after 19 years of stage work Shyam Benegal noticed me and I got my first break as an actor in 'Ankur' after that I have been seen on and off on screen as a bad guy, as a father or as an uncle.
Acting was something I needed like air. It wasn't something I could walk away from.
I don't feel comfortable calling myself a writer or a director or an actor.
