Actors Quotes
-
I didn't intend to become an actor.
Anthony Quinn
-
How often do we use other people as screens upon which to project our obsessions? Our discontents, dreams, desires, and fears? Well, I always thought, often enough that its a wonder the whole waking world isn't simply viewed as an endless improvised film. One with as many screenwriters, producers, and directors as there are actors.
Bradford Morrow
-
I've done movies where I've had to cast actors and teach them to rap, and cast rappers and teach them to act.
Craig Brewer
-
I've been thinking lately about immortality. What it means to be remembered, what I want to be remembered for, certain questions concerning memory and fame. I love watching old movies. I watch the faces of long-dead actors on the screen, and I think about how they'll never truly die. I know that's a cliché but it happens to be true. Not just the famous ones who everyone knows, the Clark Gables, the Ava Gardners, but the bit players, the maid carrying the tray, the butler, the cowboys in the bar, the third girl from the left in the nightclub. They're all immortal to me. First we only want to be seen, but once we're seen, that's not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.
Emily St. John Mandel
-
I'm a task-oriented actor. A pretender. And I try to invent my process anew each time I make a new project. So I frown on any method.
Willem Dafoe
-
Most of the top actors and actresses may be working in ten or twelve films at the same time, so they will give one director two hours and maybe shoot in Bombay in the morning and Madras in the evening. It happens.
Satyajit Ray
-
About actors' lives... I'm not the person to ask. I don't live an actor's life and I really don't know. I probably read less about actors' lives than you all do. So, I'm in the dark about all of that, sorry.
Tilda Swinton
-
Each of the actors is quite different, but they're all living in the same world.
Willem Dafoe
-
Inspiration can come from anywhere. But I do love actors. I wish I could drop a bunch of names, but there are just too many.
Kevin Corrigan
-
Sometimes you take a job for the money, sometimes you take it for the location, sometimes you take it for the script; there are just a number of reasons, and ultimately what you see is the whole landscape of it. But I can tell you from behind the scenes - that's what it is, as an actor.
Viola Davis
-
Actors are superstitious about beggars, perhaps because we're largely in the same line.
Valerie Martin
-
I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.
Sara Rue
