Acting Quotes

I do not know if it is true that all actors want to direct and all directors want to act, but in 1972 I tried directing and decided I had better stick to acting Picture Quote #1

You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why I like acting. It’s precious to me to be able to live more than one life Picture Quote #1

The trick to being a good actor is getting so involved in your character that the camera disappears, the 50 bored guys eating doughnuts disappear, friends disappear. To get to that point when you don’t have to think about it, you’re just acting and reacting in those circumstances Picture Quote #1

I think in any form of acting, you’re always well served if you’ve done theater Picture Quote #1

By holding the intention of peace towards water, by thinking, speaking and acting with the intention of peace towards water, water can and will bring peace, to our bodies and to the world Picture Quote #1

Is it acting a true vocation?... I say it is a gift... And fame? Neither sought nor expected... still confounds and amazes and disturbs. Whatever the reason... I am so very delighted that it did happen... I would not have missed it for the world Picture Quote #1

You see, she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, and I took off for the sky. And here, she’s acting happy, inside her handsome home. And me, I’m flying in my taxi, taking tips, and getting stoned. I go flying so high, when I’m stoned Picture Quote #1

I act freely when I am tuned in, centred and loving, but if possible, I avoid acting when I am emotionally upset and depriving myself of the wisdom that flows from love and expanded consciousness Picture Quote #1

You have the capacity to change the plotline of your life, even if you’ve been acting from the same script since before you can remember Picture Quote #1

While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive Picture Quote #1

Stop thinking schoolishly. Stop acting teacherishly. Stop talking about learning as though it’s separate from life Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’m very cool as a person. I’m just better than anyone else at acting cool Picture Quote #1

Modeling teaches you to be completely conscious of the camera. Acting is being totally unconscious of it Picture Quote #1

The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last Picture Quote #1

I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble Picture Quote #1

One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that’s something I figured out pretty early on Picture Quote #1

As we mature and grow older we collect a lot of baggage, and a lot of that stuff you collect on life’s journey gets in the way of acting. My kids can imagine a character and transform in the blink of an eye. It’s so simple for kids, so complex for adults Picture Quote #1

I would definitely love to continue acting, and I also really enjoy school, so I would like to balance the two somehow Picture Quote #1

I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me Picture Quote #1

I think breathing is actually the key to a lot of opening up of other parts of yourself that you haven’t used, for any job, but particularly in acting Picture Quote #1

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things, and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral, and it’s not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting Picture Quote #1

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else Picture Quote #1

Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That’s what we do. That’s what I did before I got into acting Picture Quote #1

Acting is just common sense. It isn’t hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, acting is all about telling lies. We are professional imposters and the audience accept that. We’ve made this deal that we tell you a tale and a pack of lies, but there will be a truth in it. You may enjoy it, or it will disturb you Picture Quote #1

Don’t even think of acting as a profession unless not doing it would cause you to sicken and waste away Picture Quote #1

The thing that’s very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing’s very different Picture Quote #1

I love disappearing. That’s what acting is. For me it’s about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It’s my face, but I’m using it as a tool for that spirit, that character Picture Quote #1
