Actors Quotes
-
Suicide is the most private and mysterious of acts, inexplicable because the chief actor is never there to explain it.
P. D. James
-
I love to take actors to a place where they open a vein. That’s the job. The key is that I make it safe for them to open the vein.
Mike Nichols
-
Women still, when they have breast cancer, go to work; they still lead their lives. They have to. I just did what I was supposed to do. I didn't want to exploit it or be too "actory" about it, if that makes any sense. That's also why I didn't shave my head; I feel like you have to earn that. I applaud other actors who do that and I am not ripping on them, but to me, that's a badge of honor if you're fighting this disease.
Monica Potter
-

William Lucking

When you're doing a play you get to go full speed ahead, all night, in front of an audience. It's a roller-coaster ride, responding to other actors, it feeds you.
Sean Patrick Thomas

I realized that being an actor was something I never owned up to, in a weird way. I would be a hostess or a waitress or a house restorer before I would consider myself an actor, because I never thought I was good enough.
Sandra Bullock

Stephen Frears

It's the idea that when you say 'actress', people think of an airy, floaty, no-brain person, which of course you can't be if you are an actor. It is an unfortunate word, which is why, for a time, I hung on to 'actor', because it just seemed more workmanlike, you know, like you say 'woman doctor' not 'doctoress'.
Miranda Richardson
-
As in a theatre, the eyes of men, after a well-graced actor leaves the stage, are idly bent on him that enters next.
William Shakespeare
-
When you're an actor, seeing yourself for the first time, you spend all your time just watching yourself and hating yourself and picking your performance apart. You say, "I look horrible. I should quit."
Sandra Bullock
-
I wasn't one of those people who went to see a play and said, 'I want to be an actor.' I fell into it.
Henry Czerny
-
Meeting people is difficult, period. LA is a difficult place to meet people anyway, and Hollywood is such a small community. But I don't make it a rule just to date other actors and people in the entertainment industry. It could work out with me and a dentist. It could work out with me and a lawyer.
Eva Longoria
-
In England, I was a Cockney actor. In America, I was an actor.

I don't want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I'm an actor - I guess. A journeyman actor. I think 'star' is what you call actors who can't act.
Paul Muni
-
I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.
Marilyn Monroe
