I think if I were to go back on stage I might be in great danger of acting. (Bull Deborah)
I think that most actors, and they're a very strange lot actors, very strange people, but I think that they attempt to keep in touch with the child. (Bull Deborah)
Unfortunately I went to a hotel in Krakow, and unfortunately, one night, there was a brawl in the bar because a horrible anti-Semitic remark was made to one of my fellow Israeli actors, one of my fellow actors who was an Israeli, sorry, and we were all extremely upset. I reacted rather violently, I'm afraid. (Bull Deborah)
I try not to make it easy for myself. I try very hard to stay in the moment. I'm not an actor who psyches himself up for a take. I do the opposite. I actually try and reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce, reduce and get to what I call a flat line or a zero. (Bull Deborah)
There's so much crap talked about acting. (Bull Deborah)
I enjoy this status so much, feeling that I'm close to the heart of the tribe as an actor, a storyteller, a troubadour, but socially quite distant because I don't fit into any particular comfortable slot. (Bull Deborah)
If I were to play somebody who ran a fish and chip shop, I would not work in a fish and chip shop for three months. Staring at chips is not going to help me in my performance. (Bull Deborah)
Now, I had feelings of unworthiness before I walked onto the set, and I have feelings of pride and wonder and astonishment and disbelief when I see what we managed to achieve on the screen. (Bull Deborah)
Every time we got something into the camera it was as if we were saying to the 6 million ghosts -- with a wry smile on our faces, and a sense of accomplishment -- ''That's for you!'' [On shooting Schindler's List]. (Bull Deborah)
Jerry is like the wizard behind the curtain. You never see him, but he's amazing at delegating responsibility to capable hands, and because of that, we've had a very good beginning for what I hope to be a long-running series. (Bull Deborah)
As an audience member, I like watching Rupert as an actor when he's most playful, ... I think Rupert is really adept at comedy; I think that's where his strength lies. (Bull Deborah)
I don't really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don't have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training. (Bull Deborah)
I'm not Jack Nicholson. I'm not Brando. But I do mumble. (Bull Deborah)
There are a lot of good actresses out there. (Bull Deborah)
I have to go off by myself to keep a balance. I can't always be, "Bill the actor." I must stop and gain perspective so as not to confuse my role and my person. (Bull Deborah)
De Niro agreed to come to the reading, but he hadn't committed yet. So he showed up, and about 30 people were there, and they really enjoyed it. (Bull Deborah)
I tell you what I found is because you're right; I have had a chance to work with great actresses black and white. (Bull Deborah)
I think when my character Robert came on the show there was more a sense of - from what I heard and what I felt, thank God we're finally being represented and then it's about how did he play the character, how is an African going to represent that character and is he going to do it right. (Bull Deborah)
She'd rather find a black man if she can and her brother, played by Donald Faison, says you know, I got one for you. So he introduces me to his sister who is Kenya and we date for a while. That's all I say for now. (Bull Deborah)
I could be the greatest entertainer in the world, and I'd still look at Van Cliburn and eat my heart out-and I don't even know if he plays well. (Bull Deborah)
I realize that an actor's first job is to entertain, and I believe an actor has to say something. (Bull Deborah)
