“In my mid-20s, an actor told me, ‘Acting ain’t no puzzle,’ I thought: ‘Ain’t no puzzle?!?’ You must be bad! You must be really bad, because it is a puzzle. Creating anything is hard. It’s a cliché thing to say, but every time you start a job, you just don’t know anything. I mean, I can break something down, but ultimately I don’t know anything when I start work on a new movie. You start stabbing out, and you make a mistake, and it’s not right, and then you try again and again. The key is you have to commit. And that’s hard because you have to find what it is you are committing to.”- Phillip Seymour Hoffman, NYTimes 2008
