Actor Quotes

I think people think I’m accessible. I’m never treated as a star, either by fans or other actors, and I like it like that. I don’t get the star treatment. I think that means I’m a good actor. They acknowledge me as a human being, and to me, that’s invalua Picture Quote #1

You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences. The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings. The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors Picture Quote #1

No actor is a success unless he feels inside himself, as long as he lives, that he is good Picture Quote #1

The actor must be full of passion. If he’s too cool he’s better off as the manager of a company, not someone who appears on the stage Picture Quote #1

I think you have to be flexible above all as an actor; different characters have different demands, actors that you work with are different in their approach, or how you get along or don’t get along with them Picture Quote #1

I think an actor can actually gather moments, memories and emotions for his next character. So, it’s a constant work Picture Quote #1

In the theater, you’re so much more in charge as an actor. For better or for worse, you know what the audience is seeing. But you can be acting your socks off on film, and then you see the movie, and the camera is on the other actor, or they’ve cut out the lines you thought were significant, or they’ve adjusted the plot. So much of it is out of your control Picture Quote #1

People always want to ask me about my dad. Which I get because he’s a phenomenal actor, and that’s for the world, that’s out there. But my mother is every bit as impressive and as important for the world as my dad is. It’s just that she’s not an actor Picture Quote #1

My dad was also a teacher until he was 34. I think there is a basis in reality. But I’d only done two jobs before I was an actor. I worked in a petrol station and I worked in a supermarket Picture Quote #1

My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young. I only realized about five years ago that I actually didn’t want to be an actor Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I’ve just gotten insanely lucky. I quite like being surrounded by lots of different talented people lots of different times a year Picture Quote #1

I loved being on the other side of the camera and interacting with the crew. When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It’s just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand the actor that chooses to play the same role in everything all the time Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know what the path was that I wanted to be as an actor, to be honest. I’ve been doing a lot of theater since I was a kid, so I was just sort of taking opportunities Picture Quote #1

The idea of being a professional actor never occurred to anybody, including myself, for a long time Picture Quote #1

You cannot begin to imagine the shock I had when I came down on the floor for the first time. First of all, there’s this whole thing about playing sitcom comedy. I didn’t want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn’t know what else to do. I went slowly. We went through the week of rehearsal, then we got on the floor with the cameras, which I’m used to because of my experience in the old days. Then came camera day, with an audience, and it was stunning, enthralling, exciting and chaotic. I had never experienced anything like that before, as an actor. I was part minstrel, part actor Picture Quote #1

You don’t have a lot of time to massage a scene into oblivion. It’s like you do it, you get a couple of good takes, and then you move on, so you have to be very spontaneous as an actor and have done your homework, and I like that Picture Quote #1

It’s tough to be an actor and it’s tough to portray a real person, and it’s tough to play two people adding up to one person Picture Quote #1

I’m always in the elements, it seems like it’s pouring rain on me a lot and there’s crowds of people pushing me around, and it feels very real. Which is great as a actor, you don’t have to come up with too much of it. I’m always amazed Picture Quote #1

As an actor it’s always easier to shave or cut your hair for a role, but it’s hard to put fake hair on or grow hair for a role Picture Quote #1

For better or worse, I take my acting seriously. I may not have been in the best movies ever made, but I take it deathly serious, and I love being an actor Picture Quote #1

With kids you can take a chance but casting a guy at 45 is different. You don’t discover somebody that age. If an actor hasn’t made it by that time he probably has no talent Picture Quote #1

An actor definitely has to be in the past a well as the present; an actor must react to past experiences every minute, every second Picture Quote #1

I think virginity is fine, just as I think having sex is fine. I don’t really care what women do sexually, and neither should you. In fact, that’s the point. I believe that a young woman’s decision to have sex, or not, shouldn’t impact how she’s seen as a moral actor Picture Quote #1

I am not an insecure actor, and this reflects in the films I have done. Yes, there was a phase when I was adamant on solo hero roles, but that is over now Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you have an accumulated knowledge base. But there’s also something about it that every time you really feel like you’re doing it for the first time; you have no idea whether you’re capable of it Picture Quote #1

As an actor, it’s my job to prepare myself for a role. If the character is realistic, one can’t go wrong Picture Quote #1

I have a final word of advice to our students. If you work very, very hard, this is the kind of actor, writer and director you may turn out to be, and if you work extra hard, this is the kind of person you may turn out to be Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re just brought on to fill one role, so it’s nice to see what the entire journey is like. As much as I’d be allowed to do it, I would do it. I love it Picture Quote #1

I never expected to be a movie star. It’s not that I didn’t want to be, I didn’t think about it. I wanted to be an actor Picture Quote #1
