Roles Quotes

I think you have to be careful not to do too much as yourself. Otherwise you stop getting the acting roles, and at the end of the day that’s what I love Picture Quote #1

I’m not in a position where I get to pick and choose roles. I usually go on auditions in long lines and embarrass myself in front of casting directors, and with a lump in my throat and my ears burning, I walk past reception and smirking actors as I go to the parking garage and go back on the highway Picture Quote #1

After ‘Entourage,’ it completely opened up my casting within the industry. People saw me for a lot of roles that I hadn’t been seen for before. Older roles. I went out this pilot season for a lot of lawyers and doctors. And cops - which I haven’t quite mastered yet; I find that quite difficult Picture Quote #1

Certainly, old age is often incompatible with certain roles and responsibilities Picture Quote #1

There are some fantastic roles for women and women of a certain age on television, whether it’s ‘Medium’ or ‘The Closer’ or ‘Damages’ or ‘Saving Grace.’ Picture Quote #1

You want roles that challenge you and that scare you a little and where you can really discover something, even about yourself, that maybe you didn’t understand Picture Quote #1

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don’t like to always do the same thing 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

One of the problems in the biotech world is the lack of women in leadership roles, and I’d like to see that change by walking the walk Picture Quote #1

I change myself a lot. Some roles you don’t want to be big, bulky, muscle-y guy and some roles you want to be a lean, marathon-runner physical type. And some roles you just don’t want to be in shape Picture Quote #1

There is no need to change my image. I like my image, and the audience likes it, too. I am very comfortable with the kind of roles I do, and as I am not doing the same character or playing myself. I explore my characters; I don’t brood over my broody image 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

The roles... the deep roles that I’ve gotten to play have turned my course. They’ve changed my life experience Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I’ve played some leading-man roles Picture Quote #1

I don’t consider roles like in ‘Die Hard’ what I do. This is like a hobby. It’s fun. I had a good time. And I love being in a movie that people actually go see. But it’s about things getting blown up. It’s not about great character development Picture Quote #1

The roles I was lucky enough to get were real stretches for me: usually a character who was older, or a little weird, or whatever. And it was hard, not just for the lack of work but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you Picture Quote #1

Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don’t get to keep doing that Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t beautiful, so there were plenty of character roles. I never did any Shakespeare, I’m far too superficial for that. I just act instinctively Picture Quote #1

Character roles only indicate that they’re very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it’s fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of character actors like Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman. My goal is to continue playing character roles in indie films and move into playing character leads Picture Quote #1

There is more for women in terms of character roles now. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith have constantly changed over the years and challenged themselves with different roles. That’s impressive Picture Quote #1

My hopes and aspirations haven’t changed since I started in this business. They’ve been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard Picture Quote #1

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they’re going to go and see the story you’re in Picture Quote #1

I chose not to go home and struggle with the New York scene. My size sort of locked me out. I was too short for the stage. I would have been doing character roles, so I went to Los Angeles. There is a lot more happening out there. I also felt it was important to break away from my family Picture Quote #1

I like doing what I do, but I like having the opportunity to do different things, and obviously comedy would be a fun jump. I’ve just been lucky enough to stay working. In my case, playing intense roles or playing character roles is something that people will hire me for, but yeah, I’d like somebody to think I’m funny. I guess we all do, right? Picture Quote #1

You could say I’m a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles Picture Quote #1

I love character roles. I’m happier in them. I look for roles that have some kind of complexity Picture Quote #1

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it’s a good story I usually enjoy doing the character Picture Quote #1

Defend your leadership roles with your true character. Never attack your own aspirations with corruption and unfaithfulness! Keep calm and be honest! Picture Quote #1

It’s quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I’ve taken are those. Lot’s of people put me in the dark category Picture Quote #1
