Top 100 Quotes About Actors And Life

#1. It's weird: making a movie is like life compacted into three months. You have these very intense relationships with people, and you talk to them every day - your editor, the casting people, music people, your actors - then it ends. It's like a circus life.

Dito Montiel

Quotes About Actors And Life #3867

Johnny Crawford

Quotes About Actors And Life #6320

Rosemarie DeWitt

Quotes About Actors And Life #10065
#4. It's odd, how those things happen to actors. A thing where you think, "I have no idea how to do this," something will happen in your life comes up and you just get it. I don't know how you get it, but actors are pretty extraordinary, in that regard. I think it's fear that happens.

Michael Keaton

Emily Blunt

Quotes About Actors And Life #34281

Ewan McGregor

Quotes About Actors And Life #119713
#17. I'm a fan of movies and television shows, and I don't expect anything from actors and actresses, or anyone, but good work. What they do. I don't feel like I deserve a piece of their personal life, or even what they think about the work they do.

D. A. Pennebaker

Quotes About Actors And Life #187173
#20. First we pre-visualized it so the actors could act. It took a long time to get that to come to life and to design those coming out of the screen. We had great fun with that. It takes a long time, a year maybe.

Ang Lee

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Quotes About Actors And Life #224315
#22. A film is born in my head and I kill it on paper. It is brought back to life by the actors and then killed in the camera. It is then resurrected into a third and final life in the editing room where the dismembered pieces are assembled into their finished form.

Robert Bresson

Quotes About Actors And Life #232331
#23. What's fun is watching actors of that calibre bring them to life. It's incredible. Christian Bale spent a day with the character he plays and after my year of being with him I couldn't have generated the same view of him. They have a different way of looking at people, it's fascinating to watch.

Quotes About Actors And Life #260868

John Turturro

Quotes About Actors And Life #262085
#28. Actors generally get to do things you probably shouldn't do in real life - well, at least as much as one might like to or be tempted to. Though I suppose a lot of actors just go ahead and do it, don't they?

John Malkovich

Quotes About Actors And Life #296511
#29. I've met a lot of actors who have three dreams: You dream of making a sci-fi, you dream of making a Western and you dream of making a vampire movie. So this is one of my life-dreams as an actor coming true.

Richard Sammel

Quotes About Actors And Life #307831
#30. As a movie actor, once you've become known, you're observed all the time so you don't get the chance to observe anymore. You still get a taste of life but it's not quite the same and there's something to be said for a more anonymous life.

Clint Eastwood

Quotes About Actors And Life #340061
#31. Anyone who wants to offer me as mushy, earthy, crunchy a role as they can, I will probably take it. In real life, I cry at a drop of a hat, and I'm a mom, and I'm pretty mushy! We all have so many colors as actors that we want to show.

Alysia Reiner

Quotes About Actors And Life #352842
#32. In life we listen to other people. Listen with varying degrees of concentration and attention, right? Actors must learn to listen in a different way.

Constantin Stanislavski

Quotes About Actors And Life #353091

Joshua Malina

Quotes About Actors And Life #388030

Navi Rawat

Quotes About Actors And Life #394162
#37. There's something about the alchemy of the show - the actors, the writers, the directors, the editors - that makes 'Parenthood' unique. You get so deeply embedded with these characters because you go through life with them, and that's our priority.

Jason Katims

Quotes About Actors And Life #399055
#38. When you meet people that you know from other films - as often happens to me, and as tends to happens to you when you're an actor, you constantly meet people that you've seen in other films. But when it's people who've kind of had a seismic effect on your life, it's quite extraordinary.

Simon Pegg

Quotes About Actors And Life #421489
#39. The heartthrob thing came in the late 1960s, and to be honest, it was fun! But I was very aware that well-known actors are two people - who you are and who other people think you are. Life only gets tricky if you confuse the two.

Robert Powell

Quotes About Actors And Life #442961
#40. Once, and only once, I walked on stage and my mind went utterly blank! I had no idea why I was there! My fellow actors had to rescue me. I was very young and new to the business, so I'm glad it didn't give me stage fright for the rest of my life!

Laura Donnelly

Quotes About Actors And Life #462468

Steve Antin

Quotes About Actors And Life #464369
#42. There are some great actors I don't want to meet because I don't want to know how they did it. I don't want to know anything about their personal life, and the illusion, or whatever it is, the shape-shiftery magic stuff that they do, which is my joy.

Rupert Friend

Quotes About Actors And Life #466917
#43. I really feel that the best actors out there are very centric. They're really connected. They're not in a, 'What about me' state, and I think that's a good lesson in life.

Cameron Mathison

Quotes About Actors And Life #484344
#44. Uta Hagen is our greatest living actor; she is, moreover, interested and mystified by the presence of talent and its workings; her third gift is a passion to communicate the mysteries of the craft to which she has given her life. There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by her.

Fritz Weaver

Quotes About Actors And Life #491049
#45. Every choice you make as an actor ends up being really influential on your life, because you're spending a lot of time working on this project, and you want to make sure you're making good choices and you're not making them for the wrong reasons. I just want to be careful and not jump into anything.

Michael Cera

Quotes About Actors And Life #521565
#46. I like the superhero comic books, and I like to see what the actors do creatively with the characters and how they bring these superheroes to life in the movies.

Max Charles

Quotes About Actors And Life #525634
#47. I am a close friend of Robert Loggia. And I just love how, with actors, there's the screen persona. Here is Robert, known for his portrayal of many characters, including gangsters. But in real life, he is elegant and erudite. He sits in the garden reading the sonnets of William Shakespeare.

Luanne Rice

Quotes About Actors And Life #530116
#48. To my mind, the actor has this great responsability of playing another human being ... it's like taking on another person's life and you have to do it as sincerely and honestly as you can.

Edward G. Robinson

Quotes About Actors And Life #545611
#49. You're out there on a high wire without a net, and that's the way actors operate. They have to be fearless about how they work and they have to create a life for the audience in 90 minutes and make them believe.

Charles Durning

Quotes About Actors And Life #577136
#50. I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as people our job is to become who we really are and so I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are.

Felicity Huffman

Quotes About Actors And Life #592869
#51. I'm not an actor, and I'll never call myself an actor. I've never thought of it as part of my life. I'll always be a singer, in my eyes.

Glen Hansard

Quotes About Actors And Life #608193
#52. As actors, we have to be able to keep ourselves open to feel, and that's a life lesson I think many people don't get a chance to learn. In my personal life, I've learned to carry this lesson with me.

Betsy Landin

Quotes About Actors And Life #619429
#53. All actors have to make the words fit in their mouths, and make the words the words fit to how you say it and how you make it life-like and make it look like what you're saying is just conversation that you're just thinking off the top of your head. That process is not quite improvisation.

Bruce Willis

Quotes About Actors And Life #625077
#54. Life actors never rehearse and need no script. A life actor uses only what is available, nothing more, nothing less.

Abbie Hoffman

Quotes About Actors And Life #640393
#55. Perhaps society should give actors the same sort of protection it gives to those who follow a religious life. Actor/priest was originally the same job. The theater is left wing magic and theology is right wing magic.

Jennifer Stone

Quotes About Actors And Life #644783

Quotes About Actors And Life #705637

Deborah Kara Unger

Quotes About Actors And Life #716364

Penelope Keith

Quotes About Actors And Life #727949
#61. Someone who'll bring some normalcy into my life and help me stay in touch with reality. That is something I'm curious about. There are so many actors who are married to people from non-film backgrounds, and their marriages are successful. I'm tired of dating actresses.

Shahid Kapoor

Quotes About Actors And Life #740595
#62. I don't like to meet the actor and have a lot of conferences and talk about their sub-life and their off-screen life and their back stories and all that nonsense, because it never means anything.

Woody Allen

Quotes About Actors And Life #743780
#63. The actor shouldn't edit themselves or be anxious. And the actors that I admire are always the ones who are inventive and their imaginative life in free-willing. It's a director's job to go, "No here, don't do that, go there."

Ralph Fiennes

Quotes About Actors And Life #779837

#65. Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.

Bette Davis

Quotes About Actors And Life #793306
#66. Over time as an actor, your life with a project can be so short lived because you come on, you do it, and then you're done. You have no control, no say, and all of a sudden there's all of this distance between the work you've put into something and the product as you see it appear on-screen.

Maggie Siff

Quotes About Actors And Life #810110
#67. When I shoot, I try to feel the body and the face and the weight of the actor, because the character until that moment is only in the pages of the script. And very often, I pull from the life of my actors. I'm always curious about what these characters and these actors are hiding about their lives.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Quotes About Actors And Life #816879
#68. Aren't you tired from all that smiling that you do at the camera? Relax and come with me to the mountains. There is more to life than the cameras!

Avijeet Das

Quotes About Actors And Life #822103
#69. Well, I'm a character actor, and actually throughout my life I've ... I have relatively speaking played few heroic leads, but I've done it.

Rene Auberjonois

Quotes About Actors And Life #823966
#70. As actors, we try to just do the character justice and try to make the writer's intentions come to life. If you do that to the best of your ability, that's really all you can do. All that other stuff, like a warm reception from fans and viewers, is just icing.

Tim Kang

Quotes About Actors And Life #825035
#71. Jimmy [Dean] was the most talented and original actor I ever saw work. He was also a guerrilla artist who attacked all restrictions on his sensibility. Once he pulled a switchblade and threatened to murder his director. I imitated his style in art and in life. It got me in a lot of trouble.

Dennis Hopper

Quotes About Actors And Life #830496

Leonardo DiCaprio

Quotes About Actors And Life #830636
#73. There's just a big group of actors in London. There are new ones coming in all the time, who are looking for work, and established actors who are interested in working and like to work. To be a working actor in England is a life.

Rebecca Eaton

Quotes About Actors And Life #834270
#74. One actor in my life is enough, and that's me. With actors, it's too easy to go into this world of complaining. Someone will always be better, richer, more loved, do more work. Those dynamics don't interest me. The friends I hang out with, we create our own work rather than complain about acting.

Bojana Novakovic

Quotes About Actors And Life #850637
#75. When searching for harmony in life one must never forget that in the drama of existence we are ourselves both actors and spectators.

Niels Bohr

Quotes About Actors And Life #860138
#76. I'm not a hugely social person. Obviously there's a big part of the job that requires that as actors, but it's not the most comfortable for me. I'm a homebody. I don't go out. My life is work and family. There's not a lot in between. That's how I like it.

Deborah Mailman

Quotes About Actors And Life #870005
#77. I think actors who know their job know that's how you do it. You don't show up and make people miserable. That poor grip who's standing there, he just wants to feed his family. He doesn't need to hear about your psychosis on life and love and death.

Charlize Theron

Quotes About Actors And Life #874046
#78. I find that a lot of actors who are good and open to challenges have lived a full life. When you walk into an audition, you have more to say for yourself because you come from the real world. It's more enticing for directors, I think.

Idris Elba

Quotes About Actors And Life #877531
#79. Shooting in real-life situations helps actors because they're competing against the noise and the wind. Out of that comes things that shift and change, in terms of tone, but not in terms of re-honing the whole sequence.

Tony Scott

Quotes About Actors And Life #895623
#80. The first time I ever heard professional actors delivering lines that I wrote was completely surreal and was just a gigantic moment in my life. It was just a little bit mind-blowing and completely strange to have something that had been on my computer being said out loud.

Andrea Seigel

Quotes About Actors And Life #906005
#81. I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.

Gerard Butler

Quotes About Actors And Life #907020
#82. As an actor, you've got to maintain a bit of mystery and at least part of your private life, otherwise the game is up.

Max Beesley

Quotes About Actors And Life #910071
#83. That is why it has been repeatedly noticed that the human life is a theatre where the mask show takes place, and we are merely the actors of that show, having entirely identified ourselves with the masks and fooling not only others, but first of all ourselves.

Arvydas Sliogeris

Quotes About Actors And Life #944346

Patty Duke

Quotes About Actors And Life #947320

Selena Gomez

Quotes About Actors And Life #976411
#87. I've had the experience of seeing what makes life easier for an actor and for the crew, and what makes it feel bogged down and challenging. We're all really fortunate that we get to make our living as artists.

Eric Balfour

Quotes About Actors And Life #1017888
#88. If you're at the Oscars, there's not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. Most straight actors I know get quite used to it. Even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. They dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes - they know the tricks.

Tom Ford

Quotes About Actors And Life #1022047
#89. Now what else is the whole life of mortals, but a sort of comedy in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each ones part until the manager walks them off the stage?

Desiderius Erasmus

Quotes About Actors And Life #1032820

Laurence Olivier

Quotes About Actors And Life #1044542
#91. Also a good director and good dialogue. That's very important because you're bringing the words to life. So it's very important for an actor to have good dialogue.

Julia Garner

Quotes About Actors And Life #1050804
#92. I hear actors complain about being stereotyped, and a lot of the time, you have yourself to blame. Just don't take the part if you feel like it's a stereotypical part for you. You have control over your life. We don't have the old studio system, where you have to do what they tell you.

John C. Reilly

Quotes About Actors And Life #1058310
#93. As an actor or anybody as a human being, I feel more and more like I want to spend time doing something significant. Because what's the alternative? Spend your life wasting your time.

Ron Perlman

Quotes About Actors And Life #1086012
#94. I love the life of an actor because you spend brief amounts of time with other people and then you just leave. I need to be alone a lot, and I need the outdoors.

Ann Brashares

Quotes About Actors And Life #1087273

Mary McDonnell

Quotes About Actors And Life #1089429
#97. I want to talk to the bullied kids of the world. Tell them to hang on, it will get better. Know that an 'Iron Chef,' actors, musicians, artists and all successful people have probably been bullied in their life. And the best part of your life is yet to come. Whatever it takes to live, do it!

Cat Cora

Quotes About Actors And Life #1099129

Marion Cotillard

Quotes About Actors And Life #1116343
