Actor Quotes

What I wish more than anything is that I could start getting press about my work as an actor. That is what I do. I’m not a criminal Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind Picture Quote #1

When I got to the reading all the work, I was reduced to being an actor in an experimental play that I’d already written. and I didn’t want to be an actor Picture Quote #1

That’s the only way to do it. Just like an actor. You can get a great performance if you do a bunch of takes and edit it. You find the moments and string them together Picture Quote #1

An actor is something less than a man, while an actress is something more than a woman Picture Quote #1

I’m an actor and this is a role I’m playing. But people can get wacky Picture Quote #1

When you get all this stuff on and you put on the guns and the hair, it has an effect on the actor. It tends to lend a certain something to the way you feel as you’re just walking around looking that way Picture Quote #1

I’ve often wondered about people that come to the profession late in life. I’ve wanted to be an actor since the first grade. I watched a play being performed by the third grade class, and it was... Magic Picture Quote #1

I didn’t set out to make this kind of picture. It just came my way. But its been going on for me for 16 years now and its wonderful for an actor to work consistently. There seems to be an insatiable audience for this type of film Picture Quote #1

It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realised I’d become an actor Picture Quote #1

So to answer your question, I’m not entirely sure how I ended up where I am today, in the sense that nobody in my family is an actor. It just happened by mistake Picture Quote #1

Drawing is giving a performance; an artist is an actor who is not limited by the body, only by his ability and, perhaps, experience Picture Quote #1

To me that’s part of my working day, and I would never refuse a job where I’m under several hours of makeup, because as an actor, I enjoy performing. It’s about the creation of the character and the art to me, not about being comfortable and how long it all takes Picture Quote #1

The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you Picture Quote #1

My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I’m doing my autobiography, I’m playing a character Picture Quote #1

If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity Picture Quote #1

My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. and now it’s kind of become a way of life for me Picture Quote #1

What I’ve got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety Picture Quote #1

I’m sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval Picture Quote #1

He’s very alive in a scene. He’s a very good actor to act with. Even though through most of the picture he’s blind, there are many places early in the picture I got to be with him before he was blind. Like convincing him in the office to do the picture Picture Quote #1

There’s no doubt in the world that directing makes you a better actor. Me, anyway. There’s no doubt in the world that it makes me a more collaborative actor Picture Quote #1

I was heartbroken at the end of that, because I thought that was going to be it for me. Somehow I had worked my way into this movie and it had exposed me to people and I had a chance to be an actor, which I loved, but I didn’t think it was ever going to happen again Picture Quote #1

I like to grow as an actor, and you can do that by playing parts that are unfamiliar to you and uncomfortable Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing like a play. It’s so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing Picture Quote #1

I still think of myself as a stage actor. When I do film and television I try to implement what I was taught to do in theatre, to try to stretch into characters that are far from myself Picture Quote #1

If I had to control what I was speaking, it would be a chore. Right now I just feel I’ve got my shoes off, everybody comes in, I talk. If I was an actor it could be a problem, but right now I just talk all the crap, I can badmouth anybody I want, I can say what I want and move on Picture Quote #1

The only thing we don’t do together is get in front of an actor and show any indecision at all about what we think. We don’t always agree, so we meet privately, then one or the other will approach the actor Picture Quote #1

An actor is a guy who, if you ain’t talking about him, he ain’t listening Picture Quote #1

It’s important to do research. I do that in every play, every actor does Picture Quote #1
