Roles Quotes

It’s a really unique acting opportunity to play two roles who are not only interacting with each other, but vastly different Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m always being challenged by my voice acting roles, for multiple different reasons. I still get nervous every time I book a gig Picture Quote #1

With movies, you can do a lot more roles a lot faster. My favorite thing about acting is taking on new characters. It’s fun switching it up at times. No matter what, I feel so honored and blessed to be 16 and already living my dream. It’s really special Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new Picture Quote #1

I have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called ‘Blast,’ which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I’ve got the build, the attitude and the look for it Picture Quote #1

I think I’d like to play more happy roles because I haven’t done too many of those. I think I’d like to do an action film; something with a harness would be fun Picture Quote #1

In any film, there are 10 male roles for 1 female role, especially in the action films. They’re heavy with the guys Picture Quote #1

I don’t just want to be a cute girl in a comedy or the actress who just does the same thing over and over again. I want to play roles that are distinct. I want to have a more varied career like actresses Viola Davis or Angela Bassett - those are the people that I grew up watching and admiring Picture Quote #1

I left my home in Massachusetts after college to move to New York City to pursue my dreams of acting. I took roles for free. I waited tables. I didn’t care because it was work Picture Quote #1

After college, I funded my short films with acting roles in film and TV. I learned my craft through the great opportunities British television gave me as a director Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been short and stocky. So when I got into repertory theatre after graduation, I found myself doing character roles: because of my deep voice, shape and height, I was playing 40-year-old, 50-year-old roles at the age of 23 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

If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you’re lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you’re brother and sister. That’s what intimacy is, if you’re with your soulmate Picture Quote #1

When you put a group of actors together who get along, and we have since day one, they don’t become like their roles. What tends to happen is their age disappears and they all deal with each other as friends Picture Quote #1

I think it’s always hard to find great roles, no matter what age you are. So I always say to people, ‘You have to remember that Hollywood is in the business of making movies that they can sell tickets to; they’re not in the business of finding great roles for actors.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be 45 competing with 20-year-olds, running to go get Botox. I want to be an expressive actor hired for the age that I am, portraying women who are my age: 40. I’m just hoping I can find some of those roles to play. Otherwise, I have to find something else Picture Quote #1

There’s a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles Picture Quote #1

I have done all kinds of roles, but Tony Montana’s role in ‘Scarface’ is something I would love to play Picture Quote #1

If you’re a woman doing classic theater, the big roles are often destroyers. I’ve played Hedda Gabler, Lady Macbeth, some of the Chekhovian heroines, Electra, Phaedra - they’re all powerful women, but they’re forces of negativity Picture Quote #1

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life Picture Quote #1

I’ve accepted I can’t rely on my work alone; I must market myself. The truly spectacular roles do go to the girls who actively promote their popularity Picture Quote #1

One of the best ways to change is to act as if you are the person you want to become. When you behave as if you are a different person, you change on a very basic level - even your physiology changes. When actors and actresses perform, their body chemistry is altered by the roles they play Picture Quote #1

Chasing Amy’ was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did ‘Big Daddy’ and you’re the girlfriend or you’re the best friend. I wasn’t getting the Nicole Kidman roles Picture Quote #1

The thing is this: I’ve got an amazing career in England that couldn’t possibly get much better. I do the best theater around, I work at the National Theater, the Old Vic - which I’m sure you’ve heard of because it’s the one Kevin Spacey runs - and I play the most amazing roles and work with the most amazing directors Picture Quote #1

Most of the roles that I go for are Americans, so the first thing I had to do was pin down the American accent - which is obviously in ‘Blue Crush 2.’ Picture Quote #1

Action roles - or any role - should go to the best guy for the job. People obsess about nationality. Hollywood and America might be the hub for pop culture and cinema for the Western world, but that shouldn’t suggest that all the roles should go to young American men Picture Quote #1

We want to be seen as more than just martial artists, or bad stereotype token roles in American TV and movies Picture Quote #1

I grew up without the rose-tinted look at the profession many of my friends had, but I’ve been very lucky playing major roles in ‘An Ideal Husband’, ‘Arcadia’ and ‘The Memory of Water’ Picture Quote #1

Leaders cannot work in a vacuum. They may take on larger, seemingly more important roles in an organization, but this does not exclude them from asking for and using feedback. In fact, a leader arguably needs feedback more so than anyone else. It’s what helps a leader respond appropriately to events in pursuit of successful outcomes Picture Quote #1

I think real life reflects your movies. In your life, you pick stuff that influences what movie roles you wanna pick. I think if you’ve got an interesting life, you wanna do interesting movies about interesting things Picture Quote #1
