Acting Quotes

As far as acting in films, there is not much out there that is very interesting to do. The ones that are interesting to me are independent films and they have trouble raising money. With people putting their money into blockbusters, there is not much left for the independents Picture Quote #1

Being able to do lead roles in pictures or onstage or whatever it is that you’re doing in acting is obviously what you strive for because you want to better yourself as an actor and you want to better yourself as a person as well. But that does come with a lot of responsibility and a great deal of weight Picture Quote #1

When I left school, I got a job in a shoe shop and I used to save 15 quid a week and pay for my own singing and acting lessons Picture Quote #1

I just think there’s always room for humanity in acting, one can only hope, so when you bring in the whole life of a person that’s playing a character, then surprises happen and are allowed to happen, and so it makes it more interesting Picture Quote #1

You know, a lot of actors I think go into acting for therapy from whatever trauma has affected them as children. But for me, I think I sought out the drama. That’s why I like doing what I do Picture Quote #1

With acting, you have to depend on somebody else to decide if you are allowed to work. You can spend weeks and months when you are not acting at all Picture Quote #1

I think directors should at least take acting lessons to see what’s going on. And I think all actors should direct to see what a director has to go through Picture Quote #1

I give culture this meaning: exercise of thought, acquisition of general ideas, habit of connecting causes and effects... I believe that it means thinking well, whatever one thinks, and therefore acting well, whatever one does Picture Quote #1

I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes Picture Quote #1

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I don’t think of it as work. It’s really fun for me Picture Quote #1

Doing scripted acting is a challenge to me. I can’t remember things too good, so remembering lines is a challenge to your boy Picture Quote #1

The most interesting thing about acting is when you go to the dark places, that’s a lot of energy. When you go to the happiest places, it’s also a lot of energy Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I know enough about acting to direct. You need to be a slight megalomaniac, not where you want to take over the world, but where you want to make every single decision and the buck stops with you. It’s an awful lot of stress Picture Quote #1

Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished Picture Quote #1

Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed Picture Quote #1

You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we’re all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you’re doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t sacrifice my business for no acting career because my business is something, ultimately, that I know I’m going to pass down to my kids, and that’s most important to me than anything else in the world. I can’t pass an acting career down to my children Picture Quote #1

I love acting, every job is a dream job when you’re an actor. I’d like to do eventually more film work and to collaborate with the best actors and directors in film Picture Quote #1

I was a very determined kid. I couldn’t imagine any other life for myself. This happens to kids who are different in any way. How am I going to make a life? Who am I going to be when I grow up? Will there be a place for me in the world? Acting gave me a sense of purpose, but it also gave me a sense that I would survive, that I would find my place Picture Quote #1

I loved it, but had to forget about acting after elementary school because it was the sort of thing you just didn’t do in my rough neighborhood Picture Quote #1

I had a really great experience so far with film acting. And most experiences from most actors, I’ve heard, are not like this. But I want a career that has many disciplines and many options Picture Quote #1

With acting, I’ve got a character to inhabit. You’ve got to think about your intentions and your directions. In modeling, even though there’s an act to it, a good model is a good model. For me it’s uncomfortable territory. You start to feel quite insecure about yourself. There’s nothing between you and the camera, and it’s just you Picture Quote #1

Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It’s been a case of learning on the job. I’ve worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I’ve picked bits up from everyone and everything Picture Quote #1
