Roles Quotes

I’ve done a lot of work other than sci-fi, and between half-hour comedy, stage, and various movie roles, I’ve really tried to avoid being typecast Picture Quote #1

I’ve been lucky enough to play many different roles from darker characters to family orientated shows to comedy Picture Quote #1

However, I’m at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don’t have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I’m not immediately recognizable Picture Quote #1

I’m ambitious but I’m not particularly competitive. I’ll try to get roles, as I think it’s healthy to go for things, but... I think there’s too much competition between women already. It’s important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses Picture Quote #1

I love different roles, just getting into it, something that’s the complete opposite of who I am Picture Quote #1

I try to explain to people that you get the roles that are right when they’re right. If you have a nerd character but you’re kind of a cool guy, you’re probably not going to get the nerd part. The nerd is going to get the nerd part. You know, someone like me Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely excited about roles where I get to wear cool costumes. I love Game of Thrones, and would love to do something like that. I’m totally a dork Picture Quote #1

The cool thing is that, unlike film, the theatre roles for women get better and better as you get older Picture Quote #1

My mom was the first African-American woman to graduate from the University of Chicago Law School, in 1946. She had leadership roles in the law, in government and the corporate world. She was a great role model in that she felt anything was possible Picture Quote #1

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

Being forcefully rattled out of our consumer mentality - our addiction to comfort and convenience can create an opportunity for us [people] to reconnect with what we really value and with the qualities of life that really can sustain us - which include reconnecting with our roles as citizens, community members, and human beings Picture Quote #1

I don’t play roles everybody likes. I’d rather have a career I’m proud of. Like everyone else, I need to eat. But I’m a very unbusinesslike person, and I keep my price low. I’m not a mass product. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea Picture Quote #1

A person who is inherently and intuitively curious is often intellectually and distinctly very serious towards his roles and responsibilities in life Picture Quote #1

I like to have my hair grow, because I need to have hair for different roles. But I’m a woman, so I’m always cutting my hair off and wishing that I hadn’t Picture Quote #1

There’s lots of incredible roles out there that I’d love to tackle, but there’s a select group of actors I find myself gravitating towards, like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sean Penn or Daniel Day-Lewis - real transformational actors Picture Quote #1

I think feminism’s a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There’s nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody’s confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing Picture Quote #1

Even though it’s a shortened format of the game, Twenty20 allows people with different skills to play in a team and play their specific roles. Obviously there’s not too much time to waste balls, but if you look at guys who play well in the top six, they have a fairly decent amount of good cricketing ability Picture Quote #1

I love playing serious! That’s a relief for me. It means something. It sounds dead corny and cheesy, but on a day-to-day basis, you can’t just let loose and cry. So as an actress playing those gritty roles, I can play it quite decently Picture Quote #1

I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced Picture Quote #1

$What helps you as an actor when it comes to roles is that deeper understanding of so many different fractions of humanity. Because oftentimes, even in comedy, there is conflict Picture Quote #1$

All I will say is that I’m playing a lot of different roles that, to be honest, are more interesting and demanding than any I’ve played before Picture Quote #1

A lot of times, we also have to live and work. You have to make money to pay rent. In that respect, I don’t think you can be so demanding. Those great stories are not the normal stories that come on a daily basis. It’s a struggle to land those roles. Everybody is looking for the good parts Picture Quote #1

My favorite newer movie is Training Day. Denzel Washington is, to me, one of the greatest actors ever. The way he gets into those roles is ridiculous Picture Quote #1
