In terms of work, obviously acting is such a job that is very in the flesh kind of thing. It's your work, but it's your life, in a way. You can get so mixed up.
I needed to put something together that would continually get me up at 4:30 in the morning, get me to work and get me excited to throw on those costumes - which clearly continue to excite me, if you are a viewer of the show - and circumstances that continue to surprise me and ask me to go places acting-wise that I haven't explored before.
I was very much into science when I was young - I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and then something else, I was always changing. Acting didn't come up until much later, probably about 16 or 17. I thought, "Oh, I quite like this."
Since no individual acting separately can lawfully use force to destroy the rights of others, does it not logically follow that the same principle also applies to the common force that is nothing more than the organized combination of the individual forces?
The mission of law is not to oppress persons and plunder them of their property, even thought the law may be acting in a philanthropic spirit. Its mission is to protect property.
Im not sure Ill find acting satisfying creatively forever. If you get the good roles, its great - if you have the freedom to choose your projects and not just do anything and everything.
I do find acting cathartic.
Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time.
You learn a lot about acting and being physical and being on stage, but there is technical stuff on camera that you can't learn until you do it.
To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life.
I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'
I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.
I like fantasy. I like worlds where sometimes you need the special effects to make it come alive, but it's not so fun acting it.
I'm acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.
You need to be a good screen partner. It's very meaningful to me to be a part of great acting performances.
I was mainly a stage actor. I found film acting mechanical, because it was so technical - there was so much technique with the lamps and the movements of the camera.
It is true that one has to think first and then to act - but it's also true that if one has no possibility of acting, one's thinking kind of becomes empty and stupid.
I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.
I started acting without any vocation. I continued out of love.
Acting is telling the truth under imaginary circumstances. I cannot think of a worse way to describe acting. Also, I'm the worst liar ever.
I always loved acting and improv and sketch comedy and theater, which I did at a local youth theater.
You can't change who you are but you can surely make the best of it. And if you've got a thought act on it.
I have tried to protect myself against men, to react against their madness to discern its source; I have listened and I have seen--and I have been afraid of acting for the same motives or for any motive whatever, of believing in the same ghosts or in any other ghost, of letting myself be engulfed by the same intoxications or by some other... afraid, in short, of raving in common and of expiring in a horde of ecstasies.
Ah just act the way ah feel.
Groucho Marx, in his later days, gave me the best review I've ever had and probably will ever have. I changed a light bulb over his bed, and when I came off of his bed with the used one after putting the new one in, Groucho said, 'That's the best acting I've ever seen you do.'
