I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.
The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth and have it found out by accident.
Is it really so difficult to tell a good action from a bad one? I think one usually knows right away or a moment afterward, in a horrid flash of regret.
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
There's good action stars. I'm a bad-guy action star. What disappoints me is when you all of a sudden you get a good action star and then he wants to play a comedy with kids, you know? That upsets me, and that's not being true to your fans.
I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
If you write a good action sequence well in a novel, you're already writing it for film, because the only way to do it well is to use some of the same tricks. They're rhetorical, not visual, but it's the same move.
To be a good actor, you have to be very smart. But to be a great actor, you also have to have a streak of, 'I'm an idiot, a complete lunatic.'
I'm - you know, I'm not a good actor.
Any comic is a very good actor. Look at Don Rickles. He is saying the same joke every night for 20 years and making it look like he just thought of it.
What I always wanted to get seen as was as a good actor, when it was the acting I was doing. When I'm writing, I want to try to be seen as a good writer.
What I always wanted to get seen as was as a good actor, when it was the acting I was doing. When I'm writing, I want to try to be seen as a good writer. Not as somebody with a particular idea to sell, or something like that.
To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new.
If people perceive you as a good actor then they'll wish for you to be a good actor and they'll root for you when they watch you, but if you come out and you're going to clubs every night people don't root for you anymore.
It's not a secret, but if you know what the hell you're doing, you pick good actors. And you know what makes a good actor? A good personality in the performer, in the person.
I don't think you can be a good actor and want to please, because so much about performing and acting is surprising people.
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
