Actors Quotes

I feel it’s so hard for young actors; It’s a different world that they’re coming up in; there’s so much money to be made off of their personal lives, and people are bound and determined to make that money Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, when people use too much blue screen in movies, the actors don’t look credible, because they have their own opinion of what the thing will look like, and each person has a different opinion Picture Quote #1

I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other Picture Quote #1

I find, surprisingly, that actors are liberated in their work if there’s stuff going on around them, because they can’t think too much about who they’re supposed to be Picture Quote #1

I like actors who just are who they are, with a little bit of qualification to adapt to their character. But mostly they just use their own personality to embody the character Picture Quote #1

In a way, putting actors deep into this sort of complicated universe frees them from thinking about who they should be. They just are somebody Picture Quote #1

I’m not a great fan of green screen. It’s not much fun for actors. It’s great for directors and technical people and cameramen Picture Quote #1

When real actors are approaching their work, we could be on a little stage somewhere, doing community theater. It’s all the same. They’re just trying to make the scene work. They’re just trying to do the best they can and figure it out Picture Quote #1

When you’re working, nobody’s a star. We’re all just actors trying to figure it out Picture Quote #1

I just don’t feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time Picture Quote #1

Often, architects work too hard trying to make their buildings look different. It’s like we’re actors let loose on a stage, all speaking our parts at the same time in our own private languages without an audience Picture Quote #1

When you’ve got good actors, they’re going to come up with good stuff, but you’re never quite sure how the dynamics are going to work between them Picture Quote #1

I just want the actors to put their faith in the language. Just let the words do the work Picture Quote #1

I hope to see more programming, more shows, more actors of mixed ethnicity, more young kids of mixed ethnicity choosing to be in the entertainment industry Picture Quote #1

I feel like this is the way I was meant to interact with acting. Which is as a director, and helping, working with actors to find their way. Facilitating their performances is so satisfying for me Picture Quote #1

I didn’t train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody Picture Quote #1

I don’t like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings Picture Quote #1

I try to get to know the actors as much as I can. I feel like I’m friends with them for starters and for a week or two, we rehearse when they’re getting the costumes together Picture Quote #1

I always felt, and still feel, one of my best strengths as a director is having been an actor for a long time. Nobody knows actors and their insecurities and strengths and everything more than somebody who’s done it before Picture Quote #1

It’s the rare happening when actors get together and you have chemistry, connection, just something that works, that’s bigger than what’s on the page Picture Quote #1

I’ve had the pleasure and the great luck to work with some incredible actors over the years and you have to observe and learn and take something from it and try and become better yourself Picture Quote #1

With actors, normally I don’t like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this Picture Quote #1

I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results Picture Quote #1

Acting is a child’s prerogative. Children are born to act. Usually, people grow up and out of it. Actors always seem to me to be people who never quite did grow out of it Picture Quote #1

You know, it was only a generation ago that actors couldn’t be buried in the churchyard Picture Quote #1

Actors have seven tracks going in their minds: They’ve got all the research they’ve done for the part, then they have whatever the director asked them to do, then they’ve got what the departments like special effects need them to do Picture Quote #1

You have to make something good. Just because all the hot actors show up and the money is there and the explosives are ready, it doesn’t matter Picture Quote #1
