Motivational Quotes

Acting and actors

The hardest part has been maintaining a small head--remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are. This business has changed a lot of good people and a lot of good families, and I don't want that to happen to me.
- Brandy

Best Quotes about Acting and actors

1.
I just stopped playing bitches on wheels and peoples' mothers. I have only a few more years to kick up my heels!
Lansbury, Angela

2.
I find myself fascinating.
Dreyfus, Richard

3.
You know how in high school you do these plays and people come up after the show and they're really excited for you? Well, that's what's happening to me right now.
Sorvino, Mira

4.
I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me.
Moore, Mary Tyler

5.
I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don't we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.
Dundy, Elaine

6.
To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.
Brando, Marlon

7.
A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar-- you pretend it's not there.
Hannah, Daryl

8.
If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role.
George, Boy

9.
The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

10.
The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays that part.
Cervantes, Miguel De

11.
A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.
Fonda, Jane

12.
Actors are loved because they are unoriginal. Actors stick to their script. The unoriginal man is loved by the mediocrity because this kind of artistic expression is something to which the merest five-eighth can climb.
Kavanagh, Patrick

13.
The real actor has a direct line to the collective heart.
Davis, Bette

14.
To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

15.
People say I'm cocky, but am I supposed to sit here and be insecure and not know where my future's going or not realize that moviemaking is the greatest thing to happen to me?
Lewis, Juliette

16.
Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

17.
The face of Garbo is an Idea, that of Hepburn an Event.
Barthes, Roland

18.
The most minor gifts and not a very high class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four.
Hepburn, Katharine

19.
For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.
Bernhardt, Sarah

20.
Acting is happy agony.
Guiness, Sir Alec

21.
I really think that effective acting has to do literally with the movement of molecules.
Close, Glenn

22.
Celebrity is death --- celebrity -- that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor.
Cusack, John

23.
From '86 until the summer of last year, wherever I went, people would say, You would have made a great James Bond! Weren't you going to be James Bond? You should have been, you could have been, you may have been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like unfinished business in my life. I couldn't say no to it this time around.
Brosnan, Pierce

24.
Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.
Newman, Paul

25.
For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
Barrymore, Ethel

26.
I don't want to read about some of these actresses who are around today. They sound like my niece in Scarsdale. I love my niece in Scarsdale, but I won't buy tickets to see her act.
Price, Vincent

27.
You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film -- you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
Lewis, Daniel Day

28.
She represents the un-vowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity -- and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the woman of wax whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.
Duras, Marguerite

29.
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Hepburn, Katharine

30.
Remember this practical piece of advice: Never come into the theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles, petty difficulties with your outside clothing -- all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art -- at the door.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

31.
You name it and I've done it. I'd like to say I did it my way. But that line, I'm afraid, belongs to someone else.
Davis Jr., Sammy

32.
You reach a point where you say you're not going to do juveniles any longer.
Howard, Ron

33.
I'm not handsome in the classical sense. The eyes droop, the mouth is crooked, the teeth aren't straight, the voice sounds like a Mafioso pallbearer, but somehow it all works.
Stallone, Sylvester

34.
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
Bresson, Robert

35.
Talk to them about things they don't know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn't, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that's about all there is to it.
Huston, John

36.
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you -- tripping on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as Leif the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
Shakespeare, William

37.
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
John, Elton

38.
The best actors do not let the wheels show.
Fonda, Henry

39.
Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.
Brando, Marlon

40.
Until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
Carrey, Jim

41.
The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful -- my personal life suffers.
Pacino, Al

42.
The hardest part has been maintaining a small head--remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are. This business has changed a lot of good people and a lot of good families, and I don't want that to happen to me.
Brandy

43.
Players, Sir! I look on them as no better than creatures set upon tables and joint stools to make faces and produce laughter, like dancing dogs.
Johnson, Samuel

44.
I have to act to live.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence

45.
A true priest is aware of the presence of the altar during every moment that he is conducting a service. It is exactly the same way that a true artist should react to the stage all the time he is in the theater. An actor who is incapable of this feeling will never be a true artist.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

46.
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Welles, Orson

47.
I don't do T & A very well because I haven't got much of either.
Leoni, Tea

48.
Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.
Huxley, Aldous

49.
Actors are one family over the entire world.
Woodard, Alfre

50.
Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.
Moreau, Jeanne
