[Gabriel Byrne] ... If you just fall back and relax in front of a camera, it will catch you every single time. It will never let you down. [Michael Caine] ... The part of you thats going to do a good job is the part of you that you want to most deny. [John Cusak] ... Its always more interesting to do something thats genuine--no matter what you might think the reactions gonna be, as long as you feel like youve done the best youve can. No matter how crazy it might seem or off the wall, just follow that instinct. Because thats what will distinguish you. [Robert DeNiro] ... Thats the true ambition--its to give yourself to that moment. [Harrison Ford] ... Spontaneity is responding to what you hear [...] and reacting involuntarily to what you hear. [...] Its a very, very, very vulnerable place. [Danny Glover] ... Risk death, risk everything. Make a fool of yourself. Make an idiot of yourself. Dont care about those idiots who sit out there and rip you apart, just go out and do it. [Anthony Hopkins] ...

[I believe in unpredictability.] Its one of the things I notice about my own life. I never know whats going to happen. [Christopher Walken] ... To create, that will be a constant struggle. [...] Just to get yourself where youll feel secure enough to say, Okay, keep trying stuff.
