Actress Quotes
That was my challenge as an actress: to be a necessary part of the office without being too aggressive.

Jane Elliott
I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.
Zendaya
To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress -- who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood -- and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I've come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium. It has broadened my horizons in my own mind and ultimately it is about the character for me. If I read something and I fall in love with the character, no matter what it is, I'm eager to do it. That is what happened with Gwen [on "Angel"].
Alexa Davalos
I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.
Octavia Spencer
Frances Conroy - brilliant, brilliant actress.
Nazanin Boniadi
There are beauty icons that I can never be like, sorta like a Gena Rowlands - I'll never have that look. I love Giulietta Masina, the great Fellini actress. But I'm probably more Seymour Cassel. Or somewhere between Lou Reed and Nora Ephron?

I think I've developed into an actress because I've worked darn hard at it and I've learned a great deal from a lot of gifted people. And if I have nothing else to show for my life, apart from a scrapbook full of cuttings, I have the knowledge that my early days in Hollywood weren't in vain.
Veronica Lake
I grew up in Manhattan and, since my father was a playwright, all I ever wanted to be was a stage actress.

I did modelling for a year, but then I always wanted to be an actress.
Rakul Preet Singh
As an African American actress there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.
Adrienne Monique Jordan
To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I'm always, like, just in it. It's like, 'Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I'm so happy.'
Ariana Grande
What the public expects to encounter in an actress passed 70 is the sum of her experience, not her beauty.
