Actors Quotes
There's no such thing as a small part. There are just small actors.
Sidney Lumet
The writing is really hard. You're alone. It really pulls it out of you. You pull it out of your head. But when you're a director, you're shopping - you're picking this actor, you're picking this scene. It's like the most intense kinetic high-speed shopping of all time. You sit in a chair and it will all come rushing at you like a wind tunnel.
Tony Gilroy
Well, the nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.
Paul Newman
A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.
William H. Macy
I can't dance like Hrithik Roshan. I don't have the necessary glamour like some of the other actors do. They are able to sell themselves on that aspect. I do roles and films which are very realistic. So, in those films, if you don't get into the skin of it, they won't look convincing.
R. Madhavan
You know, I really wish now I'd had the nerve to become an actor. Because I'd have been Robert Redford, no question.
Michael Morpurgo
I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was.
Stanley Kubrick
I - you know, I'm not an actor.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.
Michael Caine
Certainly people are always very envious of me. When I join a new theater company, the other actors look down the program, see my Return of the Jedi credit and say, 'Oh, you were part of Star Wars.' I smile and say, 'Yes, but only for twenty-six and a half seconds.'
Caroline Blakiston
I believe there can be dignity in the acting profession. And I think there ought to be more dignity in the publicity an actor gets.
Paul Newman
Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.
Catherine Deneuve
