I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say, 'OK, I'll go with you on this.'

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.
