Actor Quotes

I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each part you play Picture Quote #1

A big fear of working with an actor that’s never been a lead in a film before is that you’re going to have to work really hard to pull a performance out of her Picture Quote #1

I do have comfort, because as an actor you don’t want that anxiety of wondering if you’re going to continue with a certain role or if you’re going to be employed the next year. It’s nice to be comfortable with that and then you can concern yourself with the stories and nothing else. There’s no other agenda than putting out a good product Picture Quote #1

It’s a writer’s or director’s role to be cerebral, whereas for an actor it should be a visceral, gut thing. When the action starts, it’s best to turn the brain off and let it become an instinctual thing Picture Quote #1

I want to be a little more dramatic nowadays. I definitely want something big and funny, but I look for things that can just have people see me in a different light and let me mature as both an entertainer and an actor and a comedian Picture Quote #1

Well, I knew I wanted to be an actor, and I didn’t necessarily need or want to be famous or a celebrity actor Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you want as much variety as you can muster up. Otherwise you just keep playing the same chord over and over again Picture Quote #1

I’d like to think I’m an actor who leaves things at work Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I’d open my mouth and no words would come out. I’d do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines Picture Quote #1

You’re spoilt as an actor if you are in that small percentage that works regularly Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I’ve always said, half the audience is going to love you, half is going to hate you so just live with it. It’s easier that way Picture Quote #1

Every actor who has done an action film has a little tiny scar somewhere from that Picture Quote #1

I started out as an actor but now I act to fund my own productions. I’ve managed to separate my mindset Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it’s really tough to do. It’s really difficult to execute. There’s often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical 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

You don’t want to remake something that’s just been made, as an actor Picture Quote #1

I’d rather a young black actor read about success as opposed to how tough it was. I get these roles because I can act and that’s it. Hopefully that’s it Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’ve finally made it as an actor. I’ve been doing this for years and you don’t always make a movie that everybody likes Picture Quote #1

You try to pick good stories, and that’s pretty much all the control you have as an actor Picture Quote #1

As an actor you accept that you have to publicise what you do, but as for the whole personal life thing that people sometimes choose, no, that’s not for me Picture Quote #1

I’m very much a jobbing actor who’s still trying to find a place to rent down the road Picture Quote #1

I’m sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I’ve always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor Picture Quote #1

As an actor, it’s hard to direct because, suddenly, you’re not around. The thing which I hate about directing is the waiting game, but you’ve really got to wait it out and be resilient and keep it going and keep everybody motivated Picture Quote #1

I have been very lucky for most of my adult life to be working as an actor 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 never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it Picture Quote #1

For me to want to be an actor was an improbable idea. I wasn’t beautiful or pretty in any conventional way. I wasn’t an ingenue at 22. But I was always certain of it and certain of its power. I felt the power when I went to the theater at 9, 10, 12 and 14 Picture Quote #1

Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them! Picture Quote #1

I started my career by becoming a stalker, watching women in the street, the way they greet each other. I thought if I could capture some of that expression, that depth of emotion, it will make me interesting to watch as an actor Picture Quote #1
