Roles Quotes

I guess I’m just good at playing repressed individuals. I’m lucky because those are often the roles that catch people’s eyes Picture Quote #1

In the end, there’s something of the puritan work ethic about me that roles really must sustain me on an intellectual level Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of actors take on fun roles and then they’re lazy or flippant with them. I just can’t do that Picture Quote #1

What I do know is that traditional gender roles are very real and flipping the norm is difficult for even the strongest, funniest, smartest men Picture Quote #1

I don’t see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can Picture Quote #1

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I’m not an obvious kind of villain Picture Quote #1

It’s a blessing to be given a variety of roles to what I call an iconic action actor like myself Picture Quote #1

I didn’t understand that playing roles in any relationship is false and will inevitably lead to the relationship’s collapse. No one can be any one thing all the time Picture Quote #1

He was quiet. I said nothing, hoping that maybe, for once, he’d stop pretenting he was okay. Then I could, too. That we could both forget the roles that had so long bound us Picture Quote #1

Theatre, in which actors take on changing roles, has among its many functions the examination of identity. For the individual, theatre is a kind of identity laboratory in which social roles can be examined vicariously Picture Quote #1

Every team requires unity. A team has to move as one unit, one force, with each person understanding and assisting the roles of his teammates. If the team doesn’t do this, whatever the reason, it goes down in defeat. You win or lose as a team, as a family Picture Quote #1

We need artists to help us come together and share our voices and build community around powerful issues concerning our roles in the world and our planet’s survival. Compassion must be translated into action Picture Quote #1

I have learned that in a long life we all eventually play the part of the betrayed, and we all eventually play the part of the betrayer, and neither is pleasant because both roles involve pain, inflicting or absorbing it Picture Quote #1

For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces, an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles Picture Quote #1

I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you’re supposed to be to live a more authentic life Picture Quote #1

The combined outrage of the millions of creatures which have suffered at the hands of man may well combine to haunt us. We are all of the same family, though destiny has assigned us to different roles: in our relationship with animals, we should regard them as different, not inferior Picture Quote #1

What is important to a relationship is a harmony of emotional roles and not too great a disparity in the general level of intelligence Picture Quote #1

When I have to play the same role every day, I have the flexibility to play the character in so many different ways. It’s almost like playing five different roles Picture Quote #1

Beneath the seemingly rational exterior of our lives is a fear of insanity. We dare not question the values by which we live or rebel against the roles we play for fear of putting our sanity in doubt Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s flattering when there’s a rumor that says I’m bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I’m open to whatever people want to call me. I’ve never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don’t think I would be afraid of it if it happened Picture Quote #1

I hate how box office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don’t see a box office failure blamed on men. I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that. I guess it’s because we live in a patriarchal society, where feminism is a dirty word Picture Quote #1

I’ve rarely played glamorous roles. I don’t mind looking plain on camera Picture Quote #1

Every actress has to face the facts there are younger, more beautiful girls right behind you. Once you’ve gone beyond the vanity of the business, you’ll take on the tough roles Picture Quote #1

I stay away from the elf roles; I stay away from playing a leprechaun. All the roles I try to do are something that an average actor would do Picture Quote #1

I’ve certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you’re not supposed to make people laugh Picture Quote #1

I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it’s a balancing game Picture Quote #1

At 24, my head was as shiny as a cue ball on a billiard table. I naturally thought this meant curtains. Actually, I found it helped. When I was too young to play real character parts, they mistook me for older because of the bald noggin. I got juicy roles right from the start Picture Quote #1

I am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles Picture Quote #1

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. I’ve had to do it before with stage roles, to get roles. I’m drawn to kind of darker, misfit things. I would like to, especially in film, play against type and do some heavier stuff. I’m intrigued by projects that deal with problematic people and things Picture Quote #1
