Actors Quotes

There’s something with actors in their 40s, I don’t know - there’s this tendency with these guys, either they’re not where they wanted to be, or - I mean, this guy was making good money and working a lot. It’s almost like they have a bad conscience about the job, like it’s unmanly or something, so they try to compensate by busting the director’s balls 24/7 Picture Quote #1

My friends, we all improvise together usually. So we write what I think is a good script but always leave a lot of room to find stuff on the day; and we always do find something. That’s the advantage to having actors who are, in their own right, writers Picture Quote #1

I don’t mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn’t criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it’s a balance. And our job as actors is empathy Picture Quote #1

I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool Picture Quote #1

All of them - my father, mother, step-mother, and grandmother - were all wonderful actors and performers and they are an inspiration to me, both in their craft and in their humanity Picture Quote #1

Still, on ‘Friends’, we had some guest-stars who were less than spectacular, not the stunt-casting, but just regular guest-stars, and they weren’t particularly great actors, but the material was so good that they scored. It’s the writing Picture Quote #1

For me it came from the material. It was so well written and brought the opportunity to work with great actors. And of course the opportunity to ‘mince about’ was an added element that I wanted to take advantage of! Picture Quote #1

Nine out of 10 times these guys will hit it-they’ll be on something incredibly funny, but one out of 10, two out of 10, they’ll fall flat on their faces. That’s what makes them great actors: they take those chances, they don’t play it safe Picture Quote #1

I’m a perfectionist, so doing a high quality, high caliber television show with great actors makes me feel like there’s this whole world of television that I’ve never experienced Picture Quote #1

I always say that, if you have great actors and great storytelling and great monsters, and you mix them together, nine times out of 10, it explodes in your face Picture Quote #1
