Actors Quotes

I’ve been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don’t have to deal with having a persona... You know, if you look up the word persona, it isn’t even real. The whole meaning of the word is that it’s made up, and it’s like I didn’t even get to make up my own. It can be annoying Picture Quote #1

You need as much ballast as possible to stop you from floating away; you need people around you, things going on, otherwise life is like some film where the money ran out, and there are no sets, or locations, or supporting actors, and it’s just one bloke on his own staring into the camera with nothing to do and nobody to speak to, and who’d believe in this character then? Picture Quote #1

Our self discoveries make us each a microcosm of the larger pattern of history. The inertia of introspection leads toward recollection, for only through memory is the past recaptured and understood. In the fact of experiencing and making the present, we are all actors Picture Quote #1

He was, like everyone of a strongly erotic disposition, twice as good, twice as much himself when he knew that women liked him, just as many actors find their most ardent vein when they sense that they have cast their spell over the audience, the breathing mass of spectators before them Picture Quote #1

Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work. Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other’s, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to know about the lives of other actors and I don’t want people to know too much about me. If we don’t know about the private lives of other actors, that leaves us as clean slates when it comes to playing characters. That’s the point, they can create these other characters and I can believe them. I think if you’re a good enough actor, that’s the way to longevity in the film business. Keep everybody guessing Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in the afternoon sky the moon would pass white as a cloud, furtive, lusterless, like an actress who does not have to perform yet and who, from the audience, in street clothes, watches the other actors for a moment, making herself inconspicuous, not wanting anyone to pay attention to her 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

The real meaning of persona is a mask, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it Picture Quote #1

I’ve broken a cardinal rule of art, music, and career paths: actors are supposed to act, and musicians are supposed to music. That’s how it works. You don’t buy fish from a dentist, or ask a plumber for financial advice, so why listen to an actor’s music? Picture Quote #1

When everything is added up, the frequent blows weighted against the sporadic triumphs, this is I have to say not just a vocation, it’s a great gift. But you also know this, for your work, for your passion, every day is a rededication. Painters, dancers, actors, writers, filmmakers. It’s the same for all of you, all of us. Every step is a first step. Every brush stroke is a test. Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So, let the learning continue Picture Quote #1

When you consider that you’re a character that doesn’t speak, but you’ve still got to react to the other actors, you’ve got to make a noise of some kind Picture Quote #1

Actors are accustomed to doing exactly what the director or writer requests us to do, and rarely get involved in that part of the process Picture Quote #1

You know, there was not much wire work for any of us actors to do because the extent of what they did was so huge. I mean, they wouldn’t just throw you from this table to that wall Picture Quote #1

Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there’s none of that mystique, and so there’s less of a reason to buy a ticket 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

I spend a lot of my time trying to draw the attention of actors to the minute and subtle details of human behavior, which was the sort of thing I was looking at when I was a neurologist Picture Quote #1

A lot of actors just do whatever they do, and wherever the camera is, it is. They don’t pay much attention, but I always did. I was always very close to the camera crew. They were my best buddies, no matter what movie or show I was doing Picture Quote #1

There comes a point in many people’s lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves. When that happens, we are like actors finding that someone has changed the play Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a very fine line between the type of performing that some actors do, and being in a state in your mind where you actually believe what’s going on. If we weren’t actors, what would we do with that ability? Would we not be slightly insane? Mentally ill? I don’t know Picture Quote #1

I love working with male actors, and I think there’s a tendency to write really interesting characters that would work solely alongside men where they would be in a man’s world and have to deal with that, and it creates a lot of interesting storylines. For me, it’s kind of circumstantial, but I definitely enjoy it Picture Quote #1

What we do as actors is we go through phases where you superficially learn all this information Picture Quote #1

I have, I think to do a play a year is very good if you can afford the time and the energy because it’s difficult to do, it’s really the actors medium of course, because you’re really out there and nobody’s yelling cut so, yeah I have Picture Quote #1

Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that’s it. Even teenage kids often don’t make the transition Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they’re 15 they can play 11 or when they’re 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn’t have Picture Quote #1

When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they’re in... It didn’t used to be that way Picture Quote #1

I’m one of those fortunate actors who gets to work pretty much every day. I’ve had a run of good fortune and work with some terrific people who have hired me Picture Quote #1

The best voice actors all have a live performance background. And are competent, fearless, incredibly creative actors Picture Quote #1

I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds Picture Quote #1

The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors Picture Quote #1
