The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel.

Someone who's like Angelina Jolie because she isn't scared of not being pretty. She's my favourtie actress. I'd love a role like the one she played in 'Girl, Interrupted'. I've never met her.. I'd be so nervous! And star-struck! (Burke Chris)
I’ve been offered a lot but I want to stay away from romance, comedies and fluffy work. I met Stephen Spielberg at a breast cancer benefit and he explained that he’d seen me on Saturday Night Live and thought I was ready for a movie. He said, ‘You go to the ledge and are unafraid to jump off.’ That was the biggest compliment to me because he was saying I was free. (Burke Chris)

I've been offered a few movie parts so far, but I have to really concentrate on singing. But it's something I'm interested in doing eventually. I haven't been offered a part that truly inspires me to take time off, though. (Burke Chris)

And so one day we're hanging out on set and -- don't hold this against me -- but even though I had never seen Easy Rider , I just knew he was an amazing actor. And we're hanging out talking and I said, I'm so sorry I never saw Easy Rider ,' and I thought he was going to hit me or something. But he was like, You've never seen it?' I said No.' He's like, Well, why don't we have an Easy Rider party at Mark's [Steven Johnson, director] place and I'll narrate the film for you guys.' And so, literally, he did! (Burke Chris)

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing. (Burke Chris)
