Actors Quotes
I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.
Michael Caine
I enjoy being an actor largely; in part at least, because you get to walk a mile in another person's shoes, you get to see what their skin is like. The other good thing is you get to leave it.
Michael Chiklis
I would encourage you as a screenwriter to trust your story and don't make notes for the actors or don't make notes for the reader.
Ewan McGregor
I'm one of those actors who's just standing there, waiting and ready for something to come my way. I don't really try to think about, "Oh, I feel the next thing I should do should be a feature. Now, I think I should do a play." I just hope someone wants to cast me in something.
Sarah Paulson
My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I'm doing my autobiography, I'm playing a character.
Ving Rhames
As much as Id love to be a successful actor, the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.
Holliday Grainger
I'm a much better singer than actor, which doesn't really say a whole lot.
Sean William Scott
I always say YCDA: you can do anything. If you want
to be a successful actor, you have to believe in yourself more than
anything else, and dont let anybody tell you that you cannot do it
because you can.
Michael Clarke Duncan
There are actors I know personally, or I've heard them say, "The less known about me, the better, because I just want people to think of me as the character." I think Matt Damon said that recently. He has a point and I think I get that.
Winona Ryder
The best thing for an actor to do is take your attention off of how you feel about it, and put it on striving to obtain a particular objective. The happy result is that it brings out all this unexpected stuff in yourself.
William H. Macy
Me being an actor was an accident, and not something I wanted to do, because I knew what happened eventually. Yeah, maybe you'd get famous, but then you wouldn't be famous anymore. Then you'd have to scramble to get back to where you were, and chances are, you wouldn't.
Carrie Fisher
I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.
Michael Caine
