Actors Quotes

In many ways, education is a lousy business. Teachers are not normal economic actors; almost all of them work for less money than they might fetch in some other industry, given their skills and advanced degrees Picture Quote #1

My best advice to actors is if you love acting, do it every chance you get. Success does not mean success. All that matters is whether or not you’re doing your best to entertain. The way this business works is all about luck and timing Picture Quote #1

I’ve got plenty of advice from a number of other actors. Me? I don’t give advice Picture Quote #1

I try to stay out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible, because I think that when actors, whether or not they’ve chosen it or it has been thrust upon them, are living very public lives, it affects your ability to get lost in their performances Picture Quote #1

When it comes to African Americans and African American actors, Hollywood has always felt that if you can make us laugh, that’s fine, but we don’t need to see you do a ‘Schindler’s List,’ where there’s no jokes or music or comedic through-line Picture Quote #1

After all these years, I’m starting to learn what a good director does, and I know what a good one does with actors: help us navigate finer instincts, help us when we’re wrong, encourage us when things are great Picture Quote #1

This business can be very frustrating but there is success story after success story of people who take the bull by the horns. Actors who are frustrated ... [should] do your own project. Find a writer, shoot a movie. It can be done, Picture Quote #1

Unlike other young actors I’ve worked with who will remain nameless, Zoey Deutch and Lucy Fry would never go out partying after work, but would immediately hunker down to start working on the reams of labyrinthine dialogue they had to navigate for the next day’s work Picture Quote #1

You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there’s very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they’re the same 30 years later Picture Quote #1

When you put a group of actors together who get along, and we have since day one, they don’t become like their roles. What tends to happen is their age disappears and they all deal with each other as friends Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, you’d read about actors, and they’d never tell you their age and how much they made a year as part of their definition Picture Quote #1

Before Disney, I did other shows so I was aware of the business. They’re all the same in that they’re a professional environment. The only difference between a Disney show and other network shows are in the age of the actors you’re working with and the age of the intended audience Picture Quote #1

Then there are actors my age like Ethan Hawke, he’s in ‘Moby Dick,’ I love his work. I’ve been lucky. Alfred Molina, he has real class Picture Quote #1

Older actors can still play young, but it’s harder for young actors to be able to play that age range Picture Quote #1

I would love to work with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I think they’re wonderful actors Picture Quote #1

God, I hate interviews with actors pouncing on. Who wants to know about their lives? I don’t want to know about Al Pacino’s life Picture Quote #1

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I’ve worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I’ve worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley Picture Quote #1

People don’t have to be beautiful any more. We don’t have any Audrey Hepburns, Rita Hayworths or Ava Gardeners. When you look at Al Pacino and the greatest actors in Hollywood they’re all common-looking Picture Quote #1

I look up to actors. I look up to Robert DeNiro, I look up to Johnny Depp, I look up to Al Pacino, I look up to run-of-the-mill really good actors. I love watching movies, and I love watching other actors and learning from them Picture Quote #1

It’s a feeling you get. You could have a hundred actors reading for one part, and they could all be spectacular, but one sticks out for some reason Picture Quote #1

Hopefully, I can follow in Leonardo DiCaprio’s shoes. I probably say this in every interview, but he is one of my favorite actors of all time Picture Quote #1

Actors always want you to believe something else even though that’s the truth and to do that well it’s almost a dying art Picture Quote #1

If directors, actors and writers have the ability to drop their alpha-male egos, you will always get better work. In terms of my own demands, I actually want fewer lines. If I can lose a line and do it with my face, I’d rather do that Picture Quote #1

One of the best ways to change is to act as if you are the person you want to become. When you behave as if you are a different person, you change on a very basic level - even your physiology changes. When actors and actresses perform, their body chemistry is altered by the roles they play Picture Quote #1

I think the actors in ‘Greystoke’ were amazing. They had a really good performance coach called Peter Elliott who’s, of his time, one of the greatest simian performance coaches for actors Picture Quote #1

Working on ‘Downton Abbey’ is amazing, but there’s an ensemble cast of between 18 and 21 actors. With ‘Love Life,’ there are two couples and a few other key characters. As a smaller unit, you’ve got to take more responsibility - at the same time, you can have more ownership of the direction it’s going in Picture Quote #1

I love watching amazing actors and actresses that you can’t take your eyes off of because everything they are doing - even if it is just twiddling their thumbs or scratching their eye - it’s just interesting Picture Quote #1

I would love to work with Jack Nicholson, Saoirse Ronan, Michael Shannon and James Franco in the future. I think those actors are amazing, and they are my favourite actors by far Picture Quote #1

I love actors. That’s my bread and butter, and I got to work with some amazing ones on 12 Years’ Picture Quote #1

I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don’t have to be a wreck to be good Picture Quote #1
