Actor Quotes

Having grown up in the theater family, having done a huge amount of acting from a very little boy to precocious teenager in Shakespeare festivals that my father produced, I went off to college and fell in with the theater gang. I was already an experienced actor. I became a kind of campus star. I heard all this applause and laughter Picture Quote #1

I can fill my cup up with real human interactions that allow me to be an actor. If I had no basis for relationships, as Kristen Bell, the human, I couldn’t be an actress Picture Quote #1

Movies serve many purposes, and I’ve visited many of those genres, from the most light, frivolous comedy that is just trying to make you laugh, to movies that explore the most complicated side of the human soul. As an actor, I play all of those things, and I still like it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes acting and politics make a very bad combination. I think that sometimes people take me less seriously in my work for the UN because I am an actor Picture Quote #1

The muscularly developed actor is not seen as a serious actor although he should be seen as a serious actor because he has been preparing for these muscular roles his entire life. If you can dedicate years of your life to hitting the gym and dieting and eating right you can definitely take a movie role seriously Picture Quote #1

My strongest quality as an actor is taking direction. I will give my performance as a template and if the director gives any instruction, I take that information, process it and morph it into the next take. I love the feeling I get when nailing a scene through direction Picture Quote #1

New York is the greatest character actor ever. Any film that is shot in New York is elevated by the city Picture Quote #1

I can rely on me [being a director], unlike some actors. I never got anything less than what I needed from the lead actor Picture Quote #1

Johnny Depp is really my favorite male actor. Ellen Page would be my favorite female actor. Both of them, just because of the diversity that Johnny plays in his roles and just the different characters that he morphs into, it’s fantastic Picture Quote #1

I was born and raised in New York and I’m of an age where I want to just be home. But, you know, when you sign up to be an actor it’s like joining the circus and the circus is not always going to be in your hometown Picture Quote #1

I aspired to be a writer and then I just started getting acting work. I really didn’t have a direct goal, I just knew I wanted to be in this industry telling stories and doing this for a job. I thought my path was going to be as a writer, but I’m pretty happy doing it as an actor Picture Quote #1

I experience psychic phenomena, so people think I must be crazy. But you have to be accessible and intelligent to be a good actor. I might not have gotten the best grades in school, but I have a very high level of emotional intelligence. You have to be open to receive Picture Quote #1

In the eighth grade I found I had a voice for opera, so I followed that path a little, but my impulse has always been an actor. I have always liked cinema, and let’s face it, opera singers are just bad actors! I didn’t want to translate myself in that direction Picture Quote #1

Great storytellers in the past would go to an unknown land and return to tell the stories they’ve found. Those were also journeys into their inner psyches and that’s still true today. An actor, a writer, does that as if saying, ‘Here’s what I’ve discovered about myself and about the world I’m in. I would like to share this with you.’ Picture Quote #1

You have more creative freedom with writing, in certain ways, because you can create everything that happens. But, as an actor you also have creative freedom because you don’t so much focus on what has to move the story along, and only on how your character is reacting to situations Picture Quote #1

Once you see the entertainment world from both sides, you really get a greater understanding of how it all operates. As an actor going into screenwriting, I was able to understand what type of dialogue feels natural and what an actor could actually say Picture Quote #1

There is some information that an actor doesn’t need, and that’s okay. I can’t control everything. I don’t want to control everything. Sometimes, you want to control everything, and you want to know the size of the lens and stuff like that. I am so relaxed as an actor because I don’t want to control everything. I just want to control my part Picture Quote #1

Here in America, every single actor, since they were little boys, they sing and dance and perform like angels. We don’t do that. We are actors who work in a theater in very classic performances or plays Picture Quote #1

I remember my first actor that I really, really fell in love with was Tom Hanks. I suppose when I was growing up and getting more serious about acting, at that point, he was the biggest actor in the world Picture Quote #1

My idea of an actor is to be different persons with different roles. Every time a script interests me, I look for interesting characters because I intend to completely transport myself into it. This happens only because I am a very greedy actor. I am not part of the rat race because I am living a dream Picture Quote #1

Aishwarya, my parent’s daughter, has been brought up with enough values inculcated where I will use my discretion in my choices. At the same time, I recognize I am an actor, I am an artist, and if I feel the need to be liberated and do the kind of work I need to do, I will Picture Quote #1

I loved movies growing up. I went to the movies with my uncle all the time. But being an actor? I didn’t even think about it until I was about twenty years old. I took a class at the college I was at. I don’t know why - I just wanted to take a class, and I kind of fell in love with it there Picture Quote #1

I’m not particularly good at ‘celebrity’ I don’t think it was something I was born to do. I think I can get by as an actor, but I’ve never been one for the red carpet and don’t put a lot of stock in celebrities that are famous for being famous Picture Quote #1

If I look at the one thorn that is in my side, of all my life, it is my weight. I fret about it, I’m anxious about it, being an actor on television - it drives me insane. It just seems to be something that plays a central part in waking up in the morning and thinking, ‘How am I with myself today?’ Picture Quote #1

The ability to stretch my range into all genres and characters is something I take great pleasure in doing. I thoroughly enjoy it. I consider myself a character actor, though some think of me as a leading man. As an actor, I love shifting gears from character to character, and the more range I can expand, the better Picture Quote #1

Yes, I’m blonde. When I started as an actor, because of the accent and my body and my personality, it was not what the stereotype of the Latina woman in Hollywood is, so they didn’t know where to put me. The blond hair wasn’t matching. The moment I put my hair dark, it was better for my work Picture Quote #1

I am an actor who turned hero at age 32, after many years of struggle. I wanted to break the stereotype that only good-looking men with a good complexion, height and physique can be heroes, which I have managed to do Picture Quote #1

I just like watching people who really are not self-conscious, who aren’t aware, because I fear that one could become too self-conscious, too artful, as an actor. Sometimes if you look at somebody, you can extrapolate from their exterior what might be happening in their interior. I’m nosy Picture Quote #1
