A good actor just wants to deliver the writing to the audience who’ve paid that night. There’s an agonising desire to get it right.
I like to continue as a good actor.
If I spread myself too thin, I’m not a good actor, I’m not a good mother, and I’m just really high-strung – and everybody hates me.
It takes a good actor to sound excited every time.
I don’t consider myself a good actor.
My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.
I am 100-films old. In my heyday, I have done a lot of commercial films, including dancing around the trees with the heroine. But after working with Rituparno Ghosh, my understanding of cinema changed. Whatever good I am doing, it is because of him. If I am being called a good actor, it is only because of him.
It is how you approach the role given to you, and how you relate to that character and then how you adapt and gel into that role which makes you a good actor.
It’s a challenge, writing about actors, especially a good actor, because you can’t always tell when they’re being honest and when they’re pretending – that is, when they’re acting. The really good ones don’t always seem to know themselves.
I knew I could never become a good actor.
I’m safe where I’m at just being the guy where people go, ‘That’s a really good actor. What’s his name again?’ I liked being at that place.
I don’t prepare for anything very well. I am not a good actor. I don’t read scripts.
An actor must read a lot. Books not only make one a good actor but also a better human being.
I’m best known as a stand-up comedian, but I’m a good actor in the right role.

I agree when others say I am underrated as an actor… When you give super-hit films, then only you are considered as a good actor. At least, that is how it is there in our industry. I think you need to be successful to be appreciated.
There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
I still don’t think I’m a good actor. The only reason I’m doing it is because I’ve got a lot of support behind me.
Ryerson helped me because I was around acting all the time. It was pretty much all I thought about, even if I didn’t really get to practice every day; I definitely thought about it. Actually a lot of it was just sitting and watching, especially in my last year, but I think a good actor learns from everything.
To be a good actor, you need to be able to emote with your body.
I won’t take the credit of being a good actor but I do feel that there are good directors who are boldly experimenting with unorthodox subjects. I have been lucky to be part of these projects.

There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.
There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you’ve missed a few steps.
As a good actor, I think you need to know camera, dubbing etc.
