"There's a rule in acting called, 'Don't play……" — Michael J. Fox
"There's a rule in acting called, 'Don't play the result.' If you have a character who's going to end up in a certain place, don't play that until you get there. Play each scene and each beat as it comes. And that's what you do in life: You don't play the result."
