Roles Quotes

I’m at the transition place myself, still playing high school girls but moving to a stage when I’m playing older roles and going to the places of stillness and wisdom and knowledge and weight. It’s exciting and scary Picture Quote #1

In all my songs, I take on roles and play characters. It’s a unique way to explore ideas and decisions I might not think or make in real life Picture Quote #1

There’s no question that you can explore aspects of yourself through roles that you play, and you get a chance to investigate yourself; that’s healthy, and it’s therapeutic in a way. But if you’re indulging yourself, exploration at the cost of the story or the project, that’s not good Picture Quote #1

Everyone talks about reality TV and that there are no roles left. That’s false. Years ago, there were three networks. Now there are 20 cable networks and so many ways for films to be exhibited. It’s an exciting time for actors, writers, directors, and producers Picture Quote #1

I do not devalue the role of a maid or nanny, or the stereotypical roles that some members of our family have actually done to feed our families in real life Picture Quote #1

The ‘Family Ties’ role was the first of many gay roles that I’ve ended up playing. I remember that I made them laugh, and it made me feel good, ‘cause it really cracked them up Picture Quote #1

Dismissing socialization and gender roles as piddling compared to this amorphous idea of ‘maternal imperative’ is part of the reason progress is stalled for family-friendly policies Picture Quote #1

I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don’t have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize Picture Quote #1

I’ve got quite a big fan base, and people like to see you do the same thing - that’s why you get offered the same roles Picture Quote #1

In little more than a generation, feminism has obliterated roles. If you wonder why so many men choose not to get married, the answer lies in large part in the contemporary devaluation of the husband and of the father - of men as men, in other words Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how many roles I can ask my dad to play in my life, but so far, father, best friend, role model, mentor and grandfather to my children are working out quite well Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite actors is Javier Bardem, he always challenges his previous roles, and basically does the unexpected Picture Quote #1

For me, one of my favorites, director-wise, is Tim Burton. I also really admire the work of actors like Sean Penn. He is probably my favorite actor because of his dedication and commitment to roles, and the ability to morph and change himself when he needs to. It’s about dedication and commitment and a passion Picture Quote #1

I like to think I’m multi-faceted. Actually, my favorite roles are roles like in ‘Far from Heaven.’ Y’know. Soft people. Loving people Picture Quote #1

I get better roles in television. I’m not going to do a lesser role just to be in a feature film Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be in a position where I’m playing roles I’m comfortable with and making money, but doing it without feeling like I’m growing Picture Quote #1

I remember feeling that. I couldn’t do, nor did I want to do, the kinds of roles I’d been doing Picture Quote #1

I was trained classically, and that’s something that I want to do, but I do want to say that right now it’s a good market for female comedians, and I want to explore that right now. I really do want to do dramas and meatier roles, especially film Picture Quote #1

Films with female protagonists don’t attract many eyeballs. Most of them are perceived as feminist films. If Bollywood starts giving women major roles in entertaining movies, then the audience, too, will open up to the idea of watching commercial films in which the actresses do more than just play the role of the hero’s love interest Picture Quote #1

Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some interesting roles along the way, but they tend to be cause-driven. They’re always about something. There isn’t time for character work as an actor because you’re fighting the cause or mourning the child or fighting the disease, etc Picture Quote #1

The most important thing to keep in mind is the incredible diversity of talent that’s out there - there are so many great actors from all over Asia, from Singapore and Hong Kong to the Philippines and Mainland China, not to mention many great Asian-American actors who are eager for fun and challenging roles Picture Quote #1

You fight for certain roles, and you realise they’re being filled by television and film actors, because theatre is constantly fighting for survival and they need names and faces and ticket sales Picture Quote #1

New platforms are emerging: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Xbox. And film actors are gravitating towards television, because there are basically better roles there. Television is making the kind of epics and genres that the movie studios used to make, and often doing it better with more complex narratives and corresponding budgets Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in film and television, I don’t have the opportunity to play roles that really stretch and challenge me Picture Quote #1

I came from the theater playing leading roles, and when I started doing film and television, I felt as if I had to start from the bottom Picture Quote #1

Joss Whedon is a hero of mine, and what he’s done for women in film and television, particularly when it comes to writing female roles that would typically go to a man, is awesome Picture Quote #1

It’s good to be busy on a film set because there is a lot of sitting around, so if you’ve got two roles to play at one time, then that’s great to do Picture Quote #1

Everyone knows in the industry that when these great roles come up, every two years, there’s a huge number of people up for them. I’m not one of those top five females that can personally finance any film Picture Quote #1

I find myself more and more interested only in roles which move the world forward Picture Quote #1
