Text Quotes
I don’t know anything about directing, but if you love actors, know your story and hire a great company, then anyone can direct a film. (Actors Quotes)
Mission: Impossible’ is basically entertainment, and for what it is, it’s fine. I don’t think most actors become actors to do that type of film. (Actors Quotes)
A lot of directors straight out of film school are very technically minded, but they don’t have an understanding of actors or how to talk to them. (Actors Quotes)
While Hollywood has had a huge influence on the Indian industry, Bollywood and its actors, too, are garnering a lot of attention in the western film world. (Actors Quotes)
I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It’s no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor. (Actors Quotes)
Casting is so important, with any film you do. You have to get actors that you believe will fulfill the promise of the characters that are on the page. (Actors Quotes)
I’m a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don’t look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once. (Actors Quotes)
Like the he-man movie stars who turn out to be queer . . . or the silent-film actors whose voices sound terrible recorded--the audience only wants a limited amount of honesty. [ellipses original] (Actors Quotes)
We’re big fans of the show on BBC, and some of the greatest actors in film and television have done this character, from Basil Rathbone to Nicol Williamson to Michael Caine. (Executive producer) Rob Doherty came in with the pitch last season, it was immediately a show that we gravitated towards. (Actors Quotes)
There tends to be this hierarchy of film and television, and theater is somewhere else in its own milieu. However, as actors, yes, we love to do theater because it’s our story. Nobody can edit it, the curtain goes up, and it’s ours for two hours or three, or whatever. And we tell it. (Actors Quotes)
It’s a shame how a lot of actors use theater as a stepping stone to film and television work; I think it shouldn’t be treated that way. Maybe it’s narcissism or something. I think we should always go back to it. I try and do a play a year, and I think that’s really helped me. (Actors Quotes)
Composers and lyricists are not responsible for storyline and casting. One can imagine actors shouldering this responsibility, since they charge for half the film. But producers never ask actors to share the losses. Instead, they train their guns on composers and lyricists. (Actors Quotes)
I come from the theater, so for me rehearsal is vital and a way of life. There are many film directors who don’t believe in it and some actors who prefer not to rehearse. (Actors Quotes)
The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that’s the first impression it’s going to make. And very often it’s portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did. (Actors Quotes)
Once I went to film school, I realized that film directing was actually much better than theater directing, because you kind of get to stay in control of it all the way through. You don’t relinquish the piece to the actors like you have to in theater; you stay in control through the very end. (Actors Quotes)
Sony could have $50 million and a sound stage and A-list actors and never make the same film. The constraints on this film became the essence of this film, became the power of this film. (Actors Quotes)
I only really watch my own films, I don’t watch any other films and I don’t particularly like any other actors. (Actors Quotes)
My favorite part of the whole filmmaking process is working with a fantastic cinematographer, a fantastic actor or actors, and then just creating emotions and stories. I get so excited by that. That’s the part I’m utterly addicted to. (Actors Quotes)
As far back as I can remember, these are the first movies, the Universal horror movies where I knew the title of the film and I also knew the names of the actors in those films. (Actors Quotes)
I learned that the majority of the time, simplicity is the best way to go about things as you peel away the layers... that’s when you start finding the gold... I can’t say that was from my own acting. That was from observing actors like John Spencer and Martin Sheen... I had a chance just to observe. (Actors Quotes)
I’m finding a lot of actors my age now who are a bit more like me, and not as posh or brought up in a certain way. There’s now people of all sorts of kinds of backgrounds. (Actors Quotes)
Actors are pretending for you, but they’re not lying. They are not putting on a guise instead of themselves. They are finding things inside that they have experienced. (Actors Quotes)
You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it’s all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don’t earn $3 million a picture and can’t afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen. (Actors Quotes)
The very beautiful and very touching thing about opera singers is they are very willing to do whatever you want. Unlike actors, who constantly want to know why they’re doing something, opera singers will sort of follow you into the fires of hell. (Actors Quotes)
I don’t rehearse with my actors... the first rehearsal is the first time we turn the camera on... Sydney Pollack never rehearsed his actors, and I found out that’s allowed... so you film reactions; you don’t create them. (Actors Quotes)
My first job was playing ‘Nurse 2’ in a film by Ben Elton called ‘Maybe Baby,’ and the first actors I worked with professionally were Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. I was totally star-struck. I got that job on my final day of drama school, so it was a nice bridge into the professional world. (Actors Quotes)
Actors don’t need a lot of talk beyond the first few sentences. They may say they don’t draw on their own life, but all actors do. (Actors Quotes)
For the actors, there’s something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance. (Actors Quotes)
