Actor Quotes

All the time, as an actor, you want to be asking what’s next and where things are going. If you’re not asking those questions, you’re not growing Picture Quote #1

I stopped asking a long time ago, why would you want me to play that? I’m an actor. That’s what I do Picture Quote #1

Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions you’d rather not know the answers to Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldn’t make it to the play. I didn’t think anything of it Picture Quote #1

If I was discovered by anyone, it would be Stephen O’Neil, who saw me in a play at Williamstown and introduced me to my team who I’m still with today. He was the first person to introduce me to the film and TV world. Other than that, I just assumed I would be a theater actor my whole life Picture Quote #1

The only other thing I can really remember wanting to do besides acting was a gas station attendant. At the time, that seemed like a great job - wash the windows, pump the gas - it looks so cool coming home with black hands. There’s a natural transition, from wanting to be a gas station attendant to being an actor, right? Picture Quote #1

The only thing I’m nervous about is talking to guests like human beings, because all of my interviews so far have been attacking people. I have a genuine concern about sitting across from an actor whose movies I obviously haven’t seen Picture Quote #1

It’s definitely nerve-racking to be the center of attention. I’m not the kind of an actor that just craves attention 24-7 - but it’s part of the deal. You’re the leader on the set Picture Quote #1

I think for any actor to say they don’t like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something Picture Quote #1

Any actor that’s like, ‘I hate the fact that I’m getting all of this attention,’ is a liar. Especially when it’s from the opposite sex Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely not your stereotypical actor: the loud, cackling type who strolls into a room and grabs everyone’s attention with a great story. I’ve always been much more of a listener Picture Quote #1

I am the youngest of four children - three boys and one girl. I don’t think becoming an actor had anything to do with seeking attention, though. My relationship with my siblings when I was growing up was close and playful Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine writing if I didn’t have a reader. Any more than an actor can imagine acting without an audience Picture Quote #1

As an actor and an audience member, it’s important to remember that the future will further define the meaning of the present with a show like ‘Once Upon A Time.’ Sometimes we’re just collecting dots, and other times we’re connecting them, but you know that the dots that are collected will eventually get connected Picture Quote #1

As an audience member, I like watching Rupert as an actor when he’s most playful, ... I think Rupert is really adept at comedy I think that’s where his strength lies Picture Quote #1

For an actor, it’s great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them Picture Quote #1

The further away you can get away from yourself as an actor, the more fun you have Picture Quote #1

I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me, and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor, and that’s not to coddle them or to baby them. It’s to help them; it’s to push them Picture Quote #1

TV has gone back to basics, relating to middle class family with real characters, less make-up and simple shots. I feel as an actor it is a delight to work in such shows Picture Quote #1

After I directed, when I went back to being an actor, I was like, ‘God, this is the life!’ Because you only have to concentrate on one thing Picture Quote #1

One of the great joys of being an actor is you get to go back to school Picture Quote #1

You gotta understand, there weren’t a whole lot of roles for Hispanics in the Eighties, so comedy was really the way I could really feed myself and eventually feed my family. I was an actor who learned to be a comic, and it’s cool to come back and get back into acting - move forward in the direction I started out to do in the beginning Picture Quote #1

My background is in psychology and I’m also a stage actor. That’s my background Picture Quote #1

Thankfully, I have a background as an actor, and you learn how to live in that world of not knowing what’s going to happen next Picture Quote #1

My background is in musical comedy. I didn’t know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff Picture Quote #1

I’d like to be the next Oprah financially, but I’m not a TV actor. I’m not someone with an entertainment background, I’m a cop. And I’m not afraid to go anywhere and get down and dirty Picture Quote #1

I don’t come from a comedy background or a stand-up background, but I think that sometimes there’s a misconception that an actor who works primarily in comedy is a comedian. There’s nothing wrong with being a comedian, but I’m absolutely not that. I can’t think of anything more terrifying than doing stand-up! Picture Quote #1

I’m not an aspiring young actor; I’m a storyteller who made it late in life, and I’m therefore an inspiration to everyone who thinks that, at 23, if you’re not in the Backstreet Boys, then you’re never gonna make it Picture Quote #1

If you carry a paperback book in your back pocket, but spend more time on your hair than you do reading it, you’re probably a bad 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
