I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.
William Hurt
Image
Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.
William Hurt

And I don't want to use my troubles as an example of what to do and what not to do.
