Roles Quotes

I’m attracted to those kinds of roles that could be good or could be bad, and you just don’t know Picture Quote #1

I don’t use my writing career as a vehicle to get me acting work or to write roles for myself Picture Quote #1

Women often find great roles in revolution, simply because the rules fall apart and everyone has agency, anyone can act Picture Quote #1

Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you’re good at something, you’re going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people’s opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes Picture Quote #1

I am consumed, or I have been consumed, with these issues of motherhood and the way we act out societal expectations and roles. So both my nonfiction and my fiction have been pretty much exclusively about that Picture Quote #1

In every union roles are assumed, some traditional, some not. My husband used to pay his own bills, I used to call my own repairman. But as marriages progress, you surrender areas of your own competence, often without even knowing it Picture Quote #1

Some musicians play blues, others classical jazz or bluegrass. I like to play political roles because I can merge my political interests with my creative interests Picture Quote #1

I like to think I’ve done a lot of different kinds of roles, but obviously I have done quite a lot of comedies Picture Quote #1

Roles written for women are so much more complex on television. The film world is becoming quite flimsy for women Picture Quote #1

Pass the popcorn, please. Life is a film, theatre, a theatre of the soul. We play different roles on different stages. At death, we walk offstage. At birth, we walk onstage Picture Quote #1

I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren’t good enough Picture Quote #1

When we think of war, the tendency is to picture young soldiers only in their military roles. To a large extent this dehumanizes the soldiers and makes it easier for society to commit them to combat Picture Quote #1

I feel like as you get older, the roles you get change, and you don’t always want to do the same tone over and over again Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t get any of the ingenue roles when younger because at 5 feet 9 inches with a deep voice I was always too... genue. My career has completely happened since I was 29 Picture Quote #1

It hasn’t been until the last couple years that I’ve started playing close to my age. But it’s fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years Picture Quote #1

Although traditional incentives such as bonuses or recognition can prod people to better performance, no external motivators can get people to perform at their absolute best....Wherever people gravitate within their work roles, indicates where their real pleasure lies-and that pleasure is itself motivating Picture Quote #1

I like myself. I think I’m cool. But I think when you’re in a band you take on a role within the band, and I think people over the course of years can identify those roles as almost being bigger than just the individual. I don’t know. It’s kind of hard to talk about Picture Quote #1

Even if I weren’t learning new roles and getting the opportunity to be coached by incredible people, I still think I would be so excited to have an opportunity to continue to push myself and grow, as an artist Picture Quote #1

What you aim for, as an actor, is to be able to play a range of different roles Picture Quote #1

I started getting more in tune with who I am by doing roles or even just being around people Picture Quote #1

If you ever want to study acting you should be around an enlightened person for a while, because all they do is play roles, since they no longer have a self Picture Quote #1

Although we can’t control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I want to play title roles. I don’t want to be the face on the poster. I don’t want that pressure of having the success riding on my shoulders. I just want to play the most interesting parts. I actually think it’s incredibly rare to get an interesting female character that is the lead in a film. Usually the character parts are so much more interesting to play Picture Quote #1

I’ve done roles before where I’ve wanted to be buff and sort of fit or whatever. And I like to try and be a little bit fit because there’s usually one scene in a movie where you’ve got to run, which means you’ve got to run for about five hours nonstop. So, for me, it’s just worthwhile being fit because doing a movie can be kind of grueling for six, seven, eight weeks. Or 12 weeks Picture Quote #1

Even though I’ve done a lot it also feels like I haven’t done a lot. I’ve sort of popped in for supporting roles in things, and that’s been really delightful Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned a lot from doing the sitcom. I’ve learned so much about comedic timing. For all the movies I’ve done, I’ve played so many different roles. I love both, but I guess in my career maybe I want to stick more to film Picture Quote #1

I am not an insecure actor, and this reflects in the films I have done. Yes, there was a phase when I was adamant on solo hero roles, but that is over now Picture Quote #1

I usually go with roles that I find entertaining. But every once in a while, there comes along a film that has an important social message. As actors, we have a certain responsibility toward our audience Picture Quote #1

I still reject lead roles, as I don’t accept any role if I don’t find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections Picture Quote #1

When I was in my 20s, I wanted to go after dramatic roles, and I didn’t have a tremendous amount of success with that Picture Quote #1
