Actor Quotes

As an actor, you’re listening to the other person and always trying to be present and take everything they’re giving you, but when they’re not there, you have to produce that yourself Picture Quote #1

As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that’s not always the way to be Picture Quote #1

I generally get challenged; I haven’t been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It’s not something that every actor gets, really. It’s luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren’t afforded the opportunity to express their variety Picture Quote #1

The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor Picture Quote #1

I definitely believe in the energy of the set and the energy of the actor, way more than your written word Picture Quote #1

You are exposing yourself all the time as an actor. There’s the risk of being thought of as bad or boring or unattractive Picture Quote #1

And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I’m an actor. I love to create Picture Quote #1

I came out wanting to be an actor. From my first view of the world, that’s what I wanted to be. I’m made of 99 percent ham and 1 percent water. I was just cooked that way! Picture Quote #1

Good directors can bring certain things out of you, with their intensity or gentleness or sensitivity or understanding. They can make an actor feel he can do no wrong Picture Quote #1

That’s what sets apart one actor from another, and that you can’t teach. You can’t give someone that. When you’re working, putting a character together, or in a scene, that’s where things will happen that you have to have the intuition to notice them, and to register them Picture Quote #1

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I’m going to do a big scene that’s dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it Picture Quote #1

I like actors who, when you see them on screen, you sense a person, not just an actor Picture Quote #1

You’re always having to live more to fuel something new. It’s an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle Picture Quote #1

I’ve always considered myself a character actor. That’s the way I was trained, really Picture Quote #1

I guess I could say I’m an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I’m putting down being a movie star, which, let’s face it, is what I’ve become to many people. For myself, I’m a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday Picture Quote #1

I’m a little less hungry as an actor than I used to be. When you’re a director, you’re the conductor of the orchestra, and when you’re an actor, you’re playing the violin. There’s a thrill to each of them, but as the conductor, you get the fuller sound Picture Quote #1

Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it’s my life Picture Quote #1

The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly Picture Quote #1

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that’s all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It’s a weird thing that happens when you’re an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people’s hopes or something Picture Quote #1

After every single take, I laugh. It’s my own awkwardness and discomfort about being an actor Picture Quote #1

I feel much more comfortable as a writer than an actor. I feel like I am a much better writer than I am an actor Picture Quote #1

I guess it’s a kind of a goal for any actor to be the lead of a movie. Not for ego reasons, but because it is creatively the biggest challenge Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I’m not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did Picture Quote #1

There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script Picture Quote #1

We are not what we seem. We are more than what we seem. The actor knows that. And because the actor knows that hidden inside himself there’s a wizard and a king, he also knows that when he’s playing himself in his daily life, he’s playing a part, he’s performing, just as he’s performing when he plays a part on stage Picture Quote #1

I know that I am one and I’ve made a living as an actor and I enjoy being an actor, but when I’m not actually doing it, I forget that I do it Picture Quote #1

I don’t see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can Picture Quote #1

My approach as an actor has always been the same, in that the greatest gift that you’re ever going to have is your imagination because you’re not going to have all life experiences. So you draw on things that are sort of close to it but you spend your time expanding on it or drawing something specific on whatever your situation is Picture Quote #1
