Actors Quotes

When you come from a family of actors, people in show business, they really know to celebrate good news and to celebrate it hard because it’s not every day that you get it Picture Quote #1

I need theatre for my equilibrium, because in theatre the actors don’t care so much about image, about celebrity - you are more independent. There is not the narcissism, maybe, that you find in cinema Picture Quote #1

Film actors reach a certain level, but they don’t get beyond it unless they work in the theater Picture Quote #1

At a certain level, great actors who are successful actors don’t have to worry about it. They can just go for it because they believe in themselves Picture Quote #1

You hear stories about directors using manipulation to get actors to do certain things, but I think when you’re working with professional actors, it’s all about trust. They can do anything you want, it’s just a matter of them understanding what you’re looking for, and the reason why Picture Quote #1

I think you have to be scared every morning that you go out to shoot, or you lose your edge. With actors, there has to be that adrenaline and you have to keep challenging yourself, and I certainly challenge myself, as a director Picture Quote #1

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don’t like to always do the same thing Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to be one of those actors who could change from character to character, like Daniel Day Lewis or Jeffrey Wright Picture Quote #1

Being known as a writer did change the relationships I had with directors. The rap on actors is that they always want to inflate their parts. But when directors know you write screenplays and have a different view of things, you really get invited into the huddle in a much fuller way. And those collaborations end in friendships Picture Quote #1

To be on the set with the actors, with the location, every day changes; every day something can go wrong Picture Quote #1

I always change my words in everything I do. I make the language fit, because I know the character from the inside out. Often character actors are not in a position to do that, but I do it. I don’t change any cue and I never change anybody else’s lines, but I make my own words fit my mouth Picture Quote #1

I’m an actor. I’ll take a lead if it’s offered. The really good actors can fill a character, no matter what the role is. A good leading man is a character actor; a good character actor can be a leading man Picture Quote #1

As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that’s being an actor Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of character actors like Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman. My goal is to continue playing character roles in indie films and move into playing character leads Picture Quote #1

Actors want to work. Give them characters they want to play, or a story they want to tell, and hopefully the budget will follow 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 came out of the old Second City in Chicago. Chicago actors are more hard-nosed. They’re tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They’re self-demanding Picture Quote #1

‘Parenthood’ has been the beneficiary of wonderful performances by child actors Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

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

Child actors going on to become adult actors never really works, apart from a few. Jodie Foster was the exception Picture Quote #1

I don’t perform well in private. Socially, I mean. And I didn’t as a child. Actors aren’t necessarily outgoing, are they? Picture Quote #1

I have had the occasion to meet child actors from the 60s and 70s at various functions, and everyone’s gone on to various different lives - they’re real-estate agents or surfers Picture Quote #1

There’s a constant flow of child actors. It’s kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You’re going to have to struggle for a long time Picture Quote #1

I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn’t want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn’t ever want to do it again Picture Quote #1

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

A lot of times what happens is, not even just with child actors, but people in general, is they get so caught up in the now. The hot song, the hot TV show, the hot movie. You’re not saying ‘OK, this is cool, but where am I trying to be 20 years from now?’ That’s always been in the forefront of my mind Picture Quote #1

A lot of the time with child actors, you get the feeling they’re trying to have a kind of poise or presentation that’s beyond their years that might be put on, but also might be because they’ve spent years just hanging out with adults and they don’t even have a sense of what it’s like to grow up with kids their own age Picture Quote #1

Most aspiring child actors or child stars have a passion for it. But as easy as it is for me to say that I wouldn’t put my kids in it, if I saw that they really, really wanted to do and they had the drive, then I would fully support it. As long as there’s balance at home, then they could do whatever they wanted to do Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if child actors are necessarily more screwed up than most people Picture Quote #1

There was not an industry for child actors. I never really made any money. It was all about fun for me Picture Quote #1
