Actors are one family over the entire world.
Actors are crazy or we wouldn't be doing this.
I'm not a very methodologically pure actor. Almost every time that I start, I feel completely at sea. Always at the beginning I feel like a fraud, really, because I'm never sure how to get started.
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and I always think it's crap. Anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. You can't not do both.
I love physical comedy. Comedy that comes from an emotional place is amazing too and lets me develop in a new way as an actor.
I don't really think of myself as an actor.
I can tell when an actor's forcing tears, and it's tricky because you then have to film it and edit in a certain way to skirt around the issue.
It wasn't like a "I know I wanted to do this," I was sort of just - I was five and my dad kinda said hey, you wanna be an actor and I said sure.
[Stand-up] might be ballsy, but I'd rather not be an actor. Actors are tools.
If we take as given that critical infrastructures are vulnerable to a cyber terrorist attack, then the question becomes whether there are actors with the capability and motivation to carry out such an operation.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
I imagine it was much different in the 1970s. That was the Renaissance for black actors, albeit in blaxploitation movies. There was a much greater preponderance of work then than there is now.
I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.
Generally speaking, actors are allowed NO input. Actors are dumb.
Money is not a motivating factor. I do what comes to me at that moment.
Directors say that you should get actors before they are recognized. They will be a pain in the...or have an opinion.
Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.
Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.
I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.
You have to get through the Hamlet hoop as a young actor. Your classical qualifications are based on the quality of your Hamlet. And then, as an older actor, you have to get through the Lear hoop. And I'm approaching the Lear hoop.
Sir Larry could be very strict and a disciplinarian, too. He had many faces; he wore many hats. But, ultimately, he loved the theater and he loved actors.
Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child.
I was a Shakespearean actor, I had preconceived ideas, line readings - everything was a gesture, everything was conscious.
As an actor, you have no control really.
There's a whole catalogue of actors that never went to acting school.
