Actor Quotes

They were all wonderful on Andy Griffith Show, but I enjoyed Andy and Don and Ron the most. Ron played little Opie so well. He really took acting seriously and worked hard to deliver his lines well. Andy was always fun and liked to tease. Don was nothing like Barney. Don was very quiet, which shows what a good actor he was.

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does.

You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.
