Actor Quotes

When I was very young, biology, the diversity of life, was one of my main interests. I know there’s this image people have that I’m this spoiled, cocky punk of an actor. Honestly, that’s not who I am. I really care that so many species have been wiped out, like genocide of entire races. I believe in the divine right of all species to survive on this planet. So I decided I want to be active as an environmentalist. I learned. I asked experts. I got active Picture Quote #1

My instinct is to keep people guessing. I think as an actor your greatest strength is your versatility, I suppose. The blanker the canvas, the easier it is to project the illusion of a character onto it. I think there are many actors who do that very successfully Picture Quote #1

My favorite thing about acting is being alone and going through the scripts and working on it and getting ideas and asking myself questions, looking outside myself for them and researching and getting to the bottom of something and being creative with it as an actor and how to express it in a creative fashion. That’s my favorite part. And, the actual acting of it Picture Quote #1

You know, people make a lot of money talking about me, don’t they? They just get on those shows, and they talk away. There’s nothing I can do. And that’s one of the great lessons I try to convey in my book, which my mother implanted in me as a young girl.. Is you can either be an actor in your own life, or a reactor in somebody else’s Picture Quote #1

You can’t make theater happen without actors. The actor is the central ingredient in making theater happen. Audiences may come to theaters to see the work of stage managers, directors and producers, but the only people who can communicate theater magic to audiences, through ideas and emotions, are the actors. They are the only ones who can communicate this by themselves, and if necessary, they can get along without you. But you can’t make theater without the actor Picture Quote #1

I became an actor at a very young age, but I also had a deep respect for nature and I think I was sort of a little biologist when I was younger. I watched documentaries on rainforest pollution and the loss of species and habitats for animals around the world. It affected me in a very hardcore, emotional way when I was younger. So, later in life I wanted to continue that path more and investigate and learn more about ecological issues Picture Quote #1

Downtime is where we become ourselves, looking into the middle distance, kicking at the curb, lying on the grass or sitting on the stoop and staring at the tedious blue of the summer sky. I don’t believe you can write poetry, or compose music, or become an actor without downtime, and plenty of it, a hiatus that passes for boredom but is really the quiet moving of the wheels inside that fuel creativity Picture Quote #1

I started to study, because I knew I had to learn a lot about myself as an actor; you can’t act the same as you did as a child Picture Quote #1

To have a songwriter that wrote so specifically what I felt to be true... I’ve never been much of an actor either. If something is real for me, then I can do it Picture Quote #1

I can’t take on all the worries of the world, you know. I can only talk about being gay and being an actor. I’ll have to leave those other battles to somebody else Picture Quote #1

So it’s joyful to me, in my 71st year, to be able to be in a play that is absolutely right for my age and my experience, and that is a popular success. What more could you ask as an actor? Picture Quote #1

Well, I’ve always been a character actor, you know, and you always get your share of character actors who are bad guys Picture Quote #1

Ask everyone whether they’re an actor or a doctor or a teacher or whatever is entitled to his or her opinion. But unfortunately, because actors are in the public eye, whether we want it or not, sometimes our opinions carry more weight or influence than they deserve Picture Quote #1

My father was a waiter basically, and when I got my first professional job as an actor, I left a job that he found me for half the amount of money. So anyone would think that they’re stupid, that that would be a stupid move Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself Picture Quote #1

Some kids are always getting into trouble or doing stuff, and I stay away from those types. I know I am no better than anyone else in this world. I’m just an actor, that’s nothing special. But I’m not into anything bad. Just blackjack Picture Quote #1

I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick, so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them, they are just great Picture Quote #1

It is important to make your own stuff. Even if you are not an actor, it is important to not stop involving yourself as a creative person Picture Quote #1

It has given me an insight into what it’s like as an actor to come into a show in the middle of a production and fit into a group that’s already established Picture Quote #1

I’m just a hired actor who was hired for a particular job, but I think one of the joys of reading the script was the way that the personal and the global are woven together Picture Quote #1

When I was 13 years old, a professional theater company in my town needed a kid actor. I auditioned, and I got the part, so for just a few weeks I became a member of the company and I met some professional actors Picture Quote #1

For me, choice is the most important thing because I’m going to be an adult actor pretty soon. So I’ve got to be choosing the right roles now so that by the time I get to that age there will be wide options available Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing more exciting as an actor than getting to do something that you’re not entirely sure that anyone would let you do, and getting to take a big jump in a completely different direction Picture Quote #1

As an actor, that’s the best thing you can do, really take people along on a story and tell them something Picture Quote #1

I think any actor would agree that you can’t replace theater. It’s immediate. You have the energy of the crowd and every single night it’s different Picture Quote #1

If I could change on thing about myself, I would: Have better knees. Mine are shot because of injuries. You’re only as good as your legs, whether you’re an athlete or an actor Picture Quote #1

I think, you know, as an actor we get these terribly sort of pretentious ideas in our heads. We try to take everything very seriously at first, you know, until we lighten up, we get onboard, and have a laugh Picture Quote #1

Nothing can teach you what it’s like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature Picture Quote #1

The job of an actor is the same in all of them, really. I mean, you’re just creating a character that you hope people will believe, so it doesn’t make that much of a difference really Picture Quote #1

The best thing about switching from being an actor to being a director is that you don’t have to shave or hold your stomach in anymore Picture Quote #1
