Actor Quotes

Life beats down and crushes our souls and theatre reminds us that we have one. At least the type of theatre that I’m interested in; that is, theatre that moves an audience. You have the opportunity to literally impact the lives of people if they work on material that has integrity. But today, most actors simply want to be famous. Well, being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition Picture Quote #1

Marlon once said to me about being an actor: Can you imagine going to work every day and pretending to be someone else? Picture Quote #1

I loved the domesticity of my life as a struggling actor. When I wasn’t going to auditions, I could do things like cook dishes from scratch and take them to parties or be really thoughtful about birthdays and anniversaries Picture Quote #1

The first state an actor experiences onstage is the one he just experienced in life. One needs great courage not to portray this experience. One must surrender entirely to the power of one s artistic nature. It will do all the necessary things. Do not impose any solution upon yourself in advance. The quality to develop in an actor is courage Picture Quote #1

As an actor, it’s my job to make everything interesting and exciting and new. If I’m not doing my job well, then I’m stealing Picture Quote #1

One of the great things about being an actor is it serves a short attention span, which is something I have Picture Quote #1

I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, and they were getting ready for a life of unemployment, so they’re just happy I’m in work! Picture Quote #1

I think its good for an actor to bounce between stuff on camera and stuff in theatre. If I could do half and half every year I would be a very, very happy man Picture Quote #1

I always knew that I wanted to work and I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I knew that every choice I made would help me get to that point. So the better the choices I made, the more of a chance I would have to get to where I wanted to be Picture Quote #1

I think it’s one of the nicest privileges as an actor is to know that you can move people in one moment, make them think about their lives, or make them laugh or make them cry or make them understand something. Or just make them feel something because I think so many of us, including myself, spend too much time not feeling enough, you know? Picture Quote #1

If I had had to struggle at the beginning like most actors... Id never have stuck it out. But having such complete success at the beginning, I was stuck with being an actor for life Picture Quote #1

I play a guy who is 40. And I am a very good actor, because I’m 41 Picture Quote #1

I’ve been an actor for 10 years now, and if anything I want to talk more about my dad. He taught me that even if you get past the casting director’s door you’ve still got to do your homework: you’ve still got to work hard 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

The only reason I’m an actor is that a lady pulled out of a parking space in front of a producer’s office Picture Quote #1

I’m a comedian who got into movies, so I don’t really think of myself as an actor Picture Quote #1

If anything, as a general rule, the cheaper the movie the more creative the experience, generally speaking. Its not to denigrate expensive movies. I don’t want to seem biting the hands that feed me, but with big movies, especially with a lot of effects, the role of the actor is somewhat diminished Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you have total rights to privacy and mystery, whatever your sexuality, whatever you do. I don’t see why that has to be something you discuss openly because you do something in the public eye. I have no understanding of why we turn actors into celebrities 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

I’m no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you choose the wrong actor, he could be the best actor ever, but hes not cast in the right part then it doesnt work Picture Quote #1

You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a doctor, an actor, a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character, then your audience will believe you Picture Quote #1

And I knew that, being an actor, you have to take the rough with the smooth and the highs with the lows. That’s how it is Picture Quote #1
