It's a constant learning process - not just what you need to learn for the character or as far as good actors - but as an actor, there's no limit. Every time now, you're learning so, I think that's a good thing though.

More quotes by Paul Dano
I'm really excited to share the movie [Swiss Army Man] with people, so I'm glad that people are seeing it. And I want them to, because I think it's a really fun movie to experience sitting next to people. It makes it funnier. It makes it more comfortable. It makes it sweeter.
Paul Dano
You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - whats written and not written.
Paul Dano
The only constant I can find is hard work.
Paul Dano
My first thought about acting, growing up here in New York, was theater, and I feel like I need to force myself to go get my ass kicked in a rehearsal room and do one of those plays at some point.
Paul Dano
I dont normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. Ive got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.
Paul Dano
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
Paul Dano
Reading the script [Insane Farting Corpse], by page two or three, I felt that way. I thought, I'm in. It was so beautiful and insane and funny and I wanted to see it happen.
Paul Dano
If you could call me buff, my version of buff was when I finished that film [Swiss Army Man].
Paul Dano
As your career progresses, you hope that you get some more opportunity, or some more choice.
Paul Dano
Of course I think it's a movie for everybody [Insane Farting Corpse], but that's probably just because it's a movie for me.
Paul Dano
One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday.
Paul Dano
I was constantly surprised by how things took shape, whether it was something that was funny or [sharp] or some of these more simple, quiet moments in the woods. Honestly I would say everything and nothing. I honestly don't think it's different than on any other film [Swiss Army Man]. I think I would probably ask questions of everything always.
Paul Dano
The less acting you have to do, the better, I think.
Paul Dano
I feel like having something that you're passionate about helps to keep you young.
Paul Dano
On set, the playground for the character, how much it takes varies. Is it like ballet, is it like jazz? The content always lends itself to the form, and it's really not mathematics.
Paul Dano
I think it's more important to try and make a good film than give a good performance.
Paul Dano
Being actors is a strange job. To try to go live that out, it's a very strange thing to want to do when you step back and think about it.
Paul Dano
I feel like rumors get crazy and people blow up the whole internet with news. I feel like, once you're doing a job, you shouldn't talk about it.
Paul Dano
I think there was a lot of working out the arc of how Manny [Daniel Radcliffe] talks. Scene to scene [in the Swiss army Man], if I would start talking a little too well, they would come in and say like, Hey, you need to [dial back] your ability to speak - things like that.
Paul Dano
I would say that the emotional content of the film [Swiss Army Man] took me by surprise, and sometimes I would probably want to capture the unique tone of it.
