More quotes by Stephen Lang
In a rehearsal room, your real resource as an actor aren't the things around you your resources are your imagination and your director and the other actors. In those close quarters, your imagination and your skills are what you turn to.
Stephen Lang
You can play anyone if you're open enough. It's a form of possession. Each time you work on something, you allow yourself to be possessed by creating the environment for it. Then you allow the possession to happen - but not at the expense of your sanity or of your identity.
Stephen Lang
My favorite show from the '60s was 'Combat.' And maybe 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'
Stephen Lang
Your primary tools, as an actor, are observation and imagination. You can pretty much get everything you need from that, and you do. It brings back that element of pretend.

I don't believe that being against the war can be equated with being non-supportive of our troops.

The idea of being in a television series is a wonderful one to be considered, but you want to make sure it's the right thing for you because if you are fortunate enough to have something go for a long term, you want to make sure that it's something that you really want to be spending a bulk of your time on.
Stephen Lang
Hamlet, that's the only role there is, finally. The only role. After that, you settle down and only do the fun things on stage.
Stephen Lang
I think that war is diplomacy. There have been wars that have been fought for righteous reasons and there are wars that have had to be fought. Indeed, there will continue to be.
Stephen Lang
I get a lot of people coming up to me and saying, I really hate you. And they say it in the nicest possible way and I accept it. It's the people who come up to you and say, I really liked your character. Man, he was right! Those are the ones you worry about.
Stephen Lang
The truth is, I'm a character guy. That's how I see myself. I always see the role as being far more interesting and important than I am... not all actors approach it that way.
Stephen Lang
I wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.
Stephen Lang
I don't think there is a role that I did twenty years ago that I couldn't do better now.
Stephen Lang
My criteria for doing theater has always been slightly different than my criteria with movies, in that there are a lot of reasons to do films, having to do with location, money, and first and foremost having to do with script and role and director.
Stephen Lang
Acting can be a very reactive profession. Acting is a fantastic thing, and it's my life, but writing is also part of me too, so I did it and in so doing took responsibility for my own life.
Stephen Lang
My philosophy is, 'Show up, shut up, and do your job,' and if you do it to the satisfaction of your director and the public, you're likely to be able to do it again.
Stephen Lang
Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.
Stephen Lang
Theater, because of the commitment, it has to be a great role and a great play to me. It takes a lot out of you.
