Actress Quotes

I did a short film at Outfest, ‘Where Are the Dolls,’ based on an Elizabeth Bishop poem done, where I play this woman who is sort of walking the streets and ends up alone dancing in a club. I have this hot and heavy scene with a very beautiful actress. It became very popular Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It’s more than talent and beauty. Maybe it’s the audience seeing itself in you Picture Quote #1

I worry about my face not having expression. I’ve never been known for glamour, so it’s probably easier for me than it is for someone who has been known for her incredible beauty and glamour. I always wanted to be Geraldine Page, who was just a fabulous actress with just a nice, normal, expressive face Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine it if beauty was the only currency I used as an actress. It just doesn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

I think my guideline has been to find things that inspire me. And as long as I stick to that, I don’t think I’ll have any problems crossing over to becoming an adult actress Picture Quote #1

Once I realised that my job as a model was to emote in front of the camera, I thought, ‘Well now, I just have to add words, and I can do films.’ But also, my success as a model made me more confident about becoming an actress because, just in case I failed, I thought, ‘Well, you know, if I failed as an actress, I can do another job.’ Picture Quote #1

I guess you could say the beginning of my career as an actress was when I started performing in music videos Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it’s more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way Picture Quote #1

Oh, I haven’t reached any peak. I hit the bottom in the 60s. When a certain actress undertook the leading role in a recent play of mine, she referred to me as that old derelict. Not to my face, but behind my back Picture Quote #1

I don’t get bothered about statistics. If somebody had pointed out to me the odds of my being a working actress getting paid for what she does, I probably would have quit early in the game Picture Quote #1

I know the pressures of being the daughter of a great actress. But it’s inspiring. You learn so much that other people don’t get to learn until later on. My father being a director, I learnt a real work ethic Picture Quote #1

My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra Picture Quote #1

Being sexy is just one part of being a woman and an actress. But if the part calls for sexy Picture Quote #1

I think, being an actress, you know that you’re getting old. I’m 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, It won’t get better Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be an actress. I couldn’t imagine being anything else Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing my job for a long time and I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that. I just never really took it seriously Picture Quote #1

All through my life, I didn’t really consider my eyes at all, and then I became an actress. It’s great, I guess. They’re just in my face, and one is green and one is blue. It’s different, and I’m definitely a proponent of being different in any way you can in life, so I guess if you’re born a bit different that’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

There’s certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be Picture Quote #1

When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you’re performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who’s dependent on other people’s approval Picture Quote #1

I’ve wanted to be Mick Jagger since I was 18. One of the things I love about music is that you don’t have to be dependent on other people like you are in the film business. I hate being dependent on anyone. With my music, I can do whatever I want. I also think it’s made me more relaxed as an actress Picture Quote #1

I desperately wanted to play the part of Darth Vader’s mother - I think she ended up being played by a Scandinavian actress - because my son was completely crazy about ‘Star Wars.’ Picture Quote #1

I love eating. Unfortunately, I have to be really determined and control my foodie temptations. That is the only thing I don’t like about being an actress; the constant need to check my weight. Otherwise, I love my job! Picture Quote #1

For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I’ve done it with my feet bloody Picture Quote #1

Kelly Preston is a remarkable human being and a great dramatic actress. It was a privilege as a director to tap into this part of her. Rarely do I make a kind of spiritual connection with my cast. Kelly was a wonderful exception. She is truly very special and I adore her Picture Quote #1

I’m not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity Picture Quote #1

A part of being an actress that is sort of frustrating is that the writers get to tell you about your character Picture Quote #1

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it’s just an illusion Picture Quote #1

I loved reading Grimm’s fairy tales and Hans Christian Andersen, and I loved to dream about other worlds and other lives. Maybe that has something to do with having an incomplete family, being an only child. All I know is I loved to pretend, and all that was in tandem with my wanting to be an actress Picture Quote #1

Being an actress hasn’t made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress Picture Quote #1

Not just as an actress, but on a human-being level, I’ve experienced frustration on many different levels. [With my] career, it would be more the frustration of not always finding challenging material or inspiring material ... [Acting is] therapeutic for me. I’m pretty accommodating Picture Quote #1
