Actor Quotes

I wanted to be an actor, and when that day happened that was sort of like the end. Now let it take me Picture Quote #1

As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you’re playing the lead part, you don’t have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it Picture Quote #1

My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself Picture Quote #1

I want to be remembered as an actor who put in some good work in the beginning of his career, even better work at the end of his career and slowly, successfully made the transition into writing and directing Picture Quote #1

I was never an ingenue. I’ve always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you Picture Quote #1

My mother was an actress and my voice teacher, an incredible voice teacher. My biological father is an actor, and my stepfather, who raised me along with my mother, is a psychotherapist. I was always supported in creative ventures Picture Quote #1

The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies Picture Quote #1

I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do Picture Quote #1

I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end Picture Quote #1

When you’re an actress, there are only a few times you can really get paid. One of them is doing a sequel. They can’t fake you or hire another actor to play you Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I don’t really think you find yourself. I mean, once you find yourself, I think it becomes boring and you become set in your ways. I think, as an actor I think it’s not a bad thing but more of a gift. It’s something you’re always doing as an actor. You’re adjusting constantly Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do Picture Quote #1

I would love to do more acting; I really would love to do it, particularly character acting. I’m a character type of actor; I love situations where I’ve got a bit of room to improvise on the character Picture Quote #1

I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective Picture Quote #1

Being a day player, period, is one of the hardest things you can do as an actor Picture Quote #1

What makes an actor, I think, is a combination of a deep curiosity about life and a case of the crazies Picture Quote #1

You know, I always say musicians, they can do it on their own. They can practice their violin on their own. A painter can paint by himself. A writer can write by himself. But an actor needs a group, and the hardest thing about expanding your ability and your craft is to have a group to do it with that is of a caliber where you can grow even more Picture Quote #1

If the script’s good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it, and do it honestly. I also don’t learn things for auditions, because I feel like it’s just a test of memorizing rather than being real. Maybe every other actor would think that was terrible, I don’t know. But it seems to have worked for me, so far Picture Quote #1

Theater is an engagement between the actor and the audience. Film is a different sort of medium. It’s not immediate, but in some ways it’s more involving Picture Quote #1

Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you’re an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically Picture Quote #1

There are not that many jobs as an actor where you don’t get to know what your character will be doing from episode to episode Picture Quote #1

You know, the hard thing about audiences not liking what a character does is that they sometimes take it out on the actor personally. That’s something that you know when you become an actor or actress, but it’s always hard to deal with when it actually happens Picture Quote #1

I think the toughest thing about being an actor in a film is to be with a director who doesn’t know what they want. And that can be really, really frustrating Picture Quote #1

A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can’t balk at work like that. As an actor, that’s as good as it gets Picture Quote #1

I have a reputation for being an improvisational actor, which is true, but I also know what I’m doing so that if the improvisational strand doesn’t work I can go back to what I know’s already there Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to this conclusion: What makes a great actor is great need. A huge need of acting Picture Quote #1

Many actors have protested about mobile phones going off in theatres, but the real menace now is people texting during a show. It may only disturb a few people around them, but for me, as an actor, when I spot them answering their emails, I am outraged Picture Quote #1

My experience as a young actor on network television was that I couldn’t make it work. I was drowning as an actor Picture Quote #1

You want to work with good people. When you’re working with good people, it frees you up. There’s nothing worse, as an actor, to show up and then feel like you have to protect yourself somehow because you don’t feel like you’re in good hands Picture Quote #1

I don’t socialize. I’m kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely Picture Quote #1
