Motivational Quotes
Acting and actors
The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.

Best Quotes about Acting and actors
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Byron, Lord
I don't think there's a punch-line scheduled, is there?
Python, Monty
Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
Jackson, Glenda
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Chaplin, Charlie
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
John, Elton
It's a business you go into because you're an egocentric. It's a very embarrassing profession.
Hepburn, Katharine
Acting is a matter of giving away secrets.
Barkin, Ellen
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
The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.
Campbell, Thomas
I think I am a much better actor than I have allowed myself to be.
Spacey, Kevin
Ah just act the way ah feel.
Presley, Elvis
The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays that part.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.
Wilde, Oscar
I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead. [On his college registration experience]
Selleck, Tom
The best actors do not let the wheels show.
Fonda, Henry
All men practice the actor's art.
Petron
The mug is a tool. My ace in the hole. To have looks is the bonus on top of what motivates me to be an actor. Not to realize they're an asset would be counterproductive to the cause; they serve the common good.
Zane, Billy
There were many times my pants were so thin I could sit on a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.
Tracy, Spencer
I'm disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It's become so much about personality.
Ulrich, Skeet
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films. I vowed I would never do a commercial, nor would I do a soap opera -- both of which I did as soon as I left the [Acting] Company and was starving.
Kline, Kevin
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
Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
Irons, Jeremy
The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.
Fiske, Minnie
An actor is a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, he ain't listening.
Glass, George
After Blood Simple, everybody thought I was from Texas. After Mississippi Burning, everybody thought I was from Mississippi and uneducated. After Fargo, everybody's going to think I'm from Minnesota, pregnant, and have blonde hair. I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.
McDormand, Frances
I can't tell you how many shows I've done with full-blown migraine headaches.
Thomas, Jonathan Taylor
The actor's popularity is evanescent; applauded today, forgotten tomorrow.
Forrest, Edwin
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
There are no small parts. Only small actors.
Rogers, Ginger
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
Diderot, Denis
I just stopped playing bitches on wheels and peoples' mothers. I have only a few more years to kick up my heels!
Lansbury, Angela
We become actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
They are the only honest hypocrites, their life is a voluntary dream, a studied madness.
Hazlitt, William
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
I have to act to live.
Olivier, Sir Lawrence
If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice. If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.
Vaughan, Bill
A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar-- you pretend it's not there.
Hannah, Daryl
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
An agent is a person who is sore because an actor gets 90% of what they make.
Johnson, Alva
I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.
Baldwin, Alec
I'd prefer not to be the pretty thing in a film. It's such a bloody responsibility to look cute, because people know when you don't and they're like, They're trying to pass her off as the cute girl and she's looking like a bedraggled sack of potatoes.
Driver, Minnie
Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.
Moore, Roger
The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful -- my personal life suffers.
Pacino, Al
First of all, I choose the great [roles], and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
Caine, Michael
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
Hepburn, Katharine
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
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
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
Somebody told me I should put a pebble in my mouth to cure my stuttering. Well, I tried it, and during a scene I swallowed the pebble. That was the end of that.
Davies, Marion
Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.
Half, Robert
