I’ve turned my guest house into this little studio, and we have actors come over and do readings Picture Quote #1

While actors play with guns for make-believe, the guns themselves are by no means make-believe; they’re real. Even when the actor is using blanks, there are all kinds of safety protocols to follow when shooting one at someone. Pulling the trigger is the easy part Picture Quote #1

I went to a very mean school and was bullied like crazy. I was a bit of a goth with purple hair, and I was also part of the drama group, which was filled with actors and writers and wasn’t really accepted by the rest of the school Picture Quote #1

I don’t do a lot of rehearsal. I don’t like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don’t really rehearse Picture Quote #1

Boomerang!’ I love that movie just because of Halle Berry, Robin Givens, Eddie Murphy, Grace Jones and Eartha Kitt. There were so many characters. As an actress, to see African-American actors be so diverse was different from what I was used to seeing Picture Quote #1

People should be shrouded in mystery. Especially actors. No, hang on, maybe actors should be blown up Picture Quote #1

I’m always surprised that certain actors have Twitter accounts. I guess they use it in a way that works for them. But I’d rather that people had less access to my personal life. If I could keep it that way, I’d be a happy lady Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to think it’s important to try out as cheerleader when you’re starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I’m just happy they are not actors. The Valentine’s Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important Picture Quote #1

Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What’s hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it Picture Quote #1

I mean, I hate when actors talk about how hard their job is. It’s ridiculous, because we have the best job in the world Picture Quote #1

The network shows tend to be run, in general, in my experience, by committee, and it’s hard for actors and writers to do their jobs Picture Quote #1

They didn’t act like people and they didn’t act like actors. It’s hard to explain. They acted more like they knew they were celebrities and all. I mean they were good, but they were too good Picture Quote #1

You know I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it’s true for me Picture Quote #1

As actors, you always have that moment thinking you’ve been absolutely terrible or a fraud Picture Quote #1

It’s so funny, actors usually have a directing ambition. I’ve got no ambition for directing Picture Quote #1

I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn’t survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn’t realize how good they were Picture Quote #1

As a Japanese actor, I really want to work with a lot of actors and actresses in the world and many directors who have many different kinds of talents. I feel like nationally doesn’t matter at all Picture Quote #1

Acting is seductive. It looks so much fun. I did dally with other things. I did pupillage in a law firm, but I didn’t like the look of how many files the lawyer I was working with had to take home every night. It looked like a hideous amount of work, when actors were having nice lunches and discussing books Picture Quote #1

I go to the gym a lot, and I see these guys, these young actors or models there, really punishing themselves - I mean, just killing themselves. And then I’ll see one of them on a billboard, with the artfully messy hair, looking as though it’s just natural and easy to have a body like that Picture Quote #1

I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don’t get very much approbation for it Picture Quote #1

We have a smaller market place, vastly fewer drama-producing networks, and they seem to compete for the same established names for those projects Picture Quote #1

I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast.

Actors go inside the heads of other people and are not afraid of the complicated places you can find yourself Picture Quote #1
