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

My advice to actors? To successful actors, it's, sock it away, and unsuccessful actors, it's just, Just keep at it. Don't do it unless you have to do it and if you have to do it, keep you've got to keep your instrument in shape. You just got to keep on getting better. If you're not getting better, you're standing still.

I've played the clarinet since I was a kid. I love to sing, but I'm not much of a singer. Let's say that when it comes to vocalizing, I have the soul of Billy Bigelow but the voice of Jigger Cragan.
Stephen Lang
I like to understand, very specifically, what it is I'm seeing, and where it is and where it's going, and a lot of that is just hitting the mark and following the dotted line. But, that's good too because there's concentration and focus that's involved in that.
Stephen Lang
With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.
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
Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.
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.

I've always been curious as to why one man jumps out of a fox-hole with a grenade and charges a machine gun nest and his buddy, who sits right there next to him, sits there cowering. My feeling is that the different is tiny between the two.
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
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 wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.
