Acting Quotes

I am far from sure when I am acting and when I am not or, should I more frankly put it, when I am lying and when I am not. For what is acting but lying and what is good acting but convincing lying? Picture Quote #1

I have talked about choosing rather than acting from compulsion. When you feel that you have to live according to someone else’s direction or live so that you never disappoint or hurt anybody, then your life is a continual assessment of whether or not you please other people Picture Quote #1

I know you’re always supposed to want more of everything. But in truth, I’m having a nice ebb and flow of being in my daughter’s life every day and getting to keep my work life alive. I’m not nominated for ten thousand everythings every minute, but I am acting and telling stories I love Picture Quote #1

Movie acting is a great job for your twenties: You travel all over, you have affairs with people, and you throw yourself into one part and then another. It gets more challenging as you get older, and it’s not just having a daughter, it’s wanting to have your own life and be yourself Picture Quote #1

Acting can be so much fun that it’s easy to forget that what you’re doing is a job. But if I’ve got my tie on, I’m going to work Picture Quote #1

There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I’m not so interested in the divisions. I’m interested in the way things cross over Picture Quote #1

A warrior can be injured but not offended. For a warrior there is nothing offensive about the acts of her fellow human beings, as long as she herself is acting in the proper mood Picture Quote #1

The truth is you can acquire any quality you want by acting as though you already have it Picture Quote #1

From these activists we can learn a crucial lesson: without citizens creating the institutions necessary for facilitating the growth of public deliberation, democracy will be a meaningless term. Without political leaders articulating this idea and acting upon it, public life and citizenship will continue to stagnate Picture Quote #1

Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won’t be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe Picture Quote #1

Acting offers me an outlet. Here is the perfect opportunity to spend fleeting moments becoming an entirely different person; to experience a character entirely unlike myself, but to also make such a character a part of me. There is no routine here; there is no boredom. How does one get bored of life? Picture Quote #1

A compassionate heart still feels anger, greed, jealousy, and other such emotions. But it accepts them for what they are with equanimity, and cultivates the strength of mind to let them arise and pass without identifying with or acting upon them Picture Quote #1

This whole religion revolves around knowing the truth and acting by it, and action must be accompanied by patience Picture Quote #1

The philosophical underpinnings of my approach to acting are that there are universal human qualities, and that every character is actually available within each one of us, that if we tap down into that universal humanness, we can find whatever character it is that we need to play already there within ourselves, and it’s just a matter of peeling apart the onion that is you and finding that character within you, because of this universal human quality Picture Quote #1

The point of acting is to pretend you’re someone else and sell a story Picture Quote #1

I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing Picture Quote #1

I definitely knew that I loved acting from the very beginning. I was such a ham growing up. Wherever the camera was, I wanted to be right in front of it Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a vet when I was little, so it never really dawned on me that acting was my career, it sort of chose me more than I chose it Picture Quote #1

After much consideration, I am moving onward with a combination of disappointment at leaving behind a character I have loved playing for seven years and excitement of the new opportunities in acting and producing that lie ahead Picture Quote #1

Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one’s career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all Picture Quote #1

My dad is a singer, so it was always either music or acting with me. All the way up through college I was doing both, and even after college I was in a reggae band. Then the acting really started taking off, so the music had to become a hobby Picture Quote #1

It’s like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has Picture Quote #1

I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio Picture Quote #1

There’s a large chunk of me in all the parts. As an actor, I got involved largely because I want to let things out. The best acting is that that is most real and the only way to do that, is to genuinely feel it Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of things I love about acting and one of the things I love the most is, here you are taking words off a page, working with someone you might have met just a week before, and somehow you’re creating a moment that separates itself from space and time. You feel an incredible rush when you have that moment with another actor. You can feel it bounce off one another. Every take you do can reveal different things that were hiding. And things outside the story get revealed to you, too. It’s an incredible way to work and to experience a story Picture Quote #1

The thing I like about acting is being able to lose yourself completely in someone else Picture Quote #1

I do not hold that because the author did a bad job of writing the player need trump it with the same kind of acting. When I go into a picture I have only one character to look after. If the author didn’t do him justice, I try to add whatever the creator of the part overlooked Picture Quote #1

Acting is not glamorous. It’s not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time Picture Quote #1

Acting is wonderful therapy for people. Instead of suffering for yourself, someone will do it for you Picture Quote #1
