Nothing is like anything else and I'm not thinking of anything else I've done, just the job in hand. (Burke Chris)
The main trouble is that as an actor you've got too many memories of horrible rehearsals. (Burke Chris)
All we did in Alabama was have a read through with the script, but there was, 'No, well, it needs more. You've got to do this, Albert. You've got to do that, Jessica.' It didn't feel like that at all. (Burke Chris)
No, no, I go where the work is, wherever it is. I'll go, I mean, if I select it, but I don't try and ration it out or balance it at all. (Burke Chris)
That is one of the reasons one enjoys acting. Now and again, you get scenes where you work with somebody really good and you have a good time trying to make it really work and really work well. (Burke Chris)
We meet before the movie and she gives you charts with sounds on them and makes a tape of examples. While they are setting up the scene, I go with her to the trailer and we go through the scene and correct the speech. (Burke Chris)
When I read the script, I liked the script very much and I thought it was a marvelous part for her, because I think it is a change of pace. I mean, we know how wonderful she is in romantic comedy. (Burke Chris)
Within two weeks of working with her, I realized how good she was for the role because she was absolutely with it and she has got terrific instincts, I think, as an artist, too. (Burke Chris)
You are with a new set of people, you are in a new location, there is always something new about it. I still enjoy that. It's still good fun. (Burke Chris)
I don't get acting jobs because of my looks. (Burke Chris)
I think my first and foremost advice is to have a very realistic understanding of what making movies is; how much work it is, how unglamorous it is, how much tenacity you have to have. (Burke Chris)
I approach my work musically a lot in terms of the way maybe a jazz musician would approach an improvisation on a theme. (Burke Chris)
I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen. (Burke Chris)
Life isn't worth living if I miss an episode. (Burke Chris)
I almost missed the part because I forgot to read (the script). (Burke Chris)
It seemed so random at times. Like, 'Why am I reading your Bible?' But it's a very generous, brave way for a director to work. (Burke Chris)
I want to try and do as much as I can as an actor. So far I think I've done pretty well with being a minister's son. And now I know I'm pretty darn good at playing a woman too. (Burke Chris)
I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession. (Burke Chris)
All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared. (Burke Chris)
I like to do one or two films a year. But I can't prepare for something until I know what it's going to be. So I find that doing some narration, or maybe a documentary, is like going back into the gym for a couple of days. (Burke Chris)
Once I start painting, once I start acting and working, it's not a holiday. It's not a respite, but it is, in a sense, a balance, but it's of equal weight. It's a balance; it does balance out. (Burke Chris)
