Passion Character Actors

More From Zachary Levi

I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

I'd been concerned all along that the character of the president in the west wing pilot would throw the ensemble out of whack, that that character would simply take up all the oxygen in a room. i wanted to hold off bringing this character in until the last possible moment.

ِan offer you can't refuse.

You have a certain objectivity, as a member of the audience, and you can come away maybe being provoked into a certain discourse or a certain arena of questioning, regarding how you would deal with things that your character has to deal with. whereas when you're doing a film, once you start asking, "what would i do?," you're getting the distance greater between yourself and the character, or you're bringing the character to you, which i think is self-serving, in the wrong way. the idea is to bring yourself to the character.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

It's no secret that i love to talk, but the real secret is i love to listen, too.

I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because i just can't stop lifting it, and i love that you know.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

I only wish the poets would say this too: love is of the body; not the body, but of the the body. ah! the misery that would be saved if we confessed that! ah! for a little directness to liberate the soul!
