Tom Berenger

“I'm not a Method actor. I'm a kind of critic of Method acting. It's a system that's been abused and misunderstood.”

“I think the best part of being an actor is the research. I love learning about new things.”

“I've always been a character actor. I've never been a leading man.”

“I'm a fairly private person. I'm not a person who's out there in the limelight all the time.”

“I was a journalism major. I was a sports writer. I was a copy editor.”

“You know, you do a period piece, you have to be very careful. You can't have a modern sensibility.”

“I like to play characters that are not me at all.”

“I think a lot of people have a misconception of what an actor is. It's not all glamour and glitz.”

“I think that's the job of an actor is to be a chameleon.”

“I've been very lucky. I've had a long career and I'm still working.”
