I'm a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don't look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once. ~ Curtis Armstrong
Film Actors quotes by Curtis Armstrong
Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time. ~ Miranda Otto
Film Actors quotes by Miranda Otto
I find that actors who are wanting to pursue tv or films don't seem to have much interest in classical theatre. ~ Renee O'Connor
Film Actors quotes by Renee O'Connor
I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor. ~ Bradley Cooper
Film Actors quotes by Bradley Cooper
My job apart from anything else is to build an ensemble composed of actors who all come from a secure place so that they can all work together to make the film. ~ Mike Leigh
Film Actors quotes by Mike Leigh
To make a great movie is such a combination of different things that need to come into play to actually make a memorable film and not have a film to fall by the wayside, to have something live on during the years, and one of those elements is the commitment the actors have to their performance. ~ Edward Zwick
Film Actors quotes by Edward Zwick
I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted. ~ Kirk Douglas
Film Actors quotes by Kirk Douglas
When you're working on a film, it's almost like photographing paintings at a museum. You're photographing somebody else's world. I just try and interpret it and make it real, and make it what the actors are about, what the director is about, and what the film is about. ~ Mary Ellen Mark
Film Actors quotes by Mary Ellen Mark
I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them. ~ Jessica Chastain
Film Actors quotes by Jessica Chastain
Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of. ~ Jake Lloyd
Film Actors quotes by Jake Lloyd
Some of these things I saw in foreign films - African films, Cuban films - long before I decided to really go on this course as an actor. I started to think about what values I saw in those films that I wanted to bring to my projects. ~ Danny Glover
Film Actors quotes by Danny Glover
Making a film is so hard that if you don't have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult. ~ Alan Parker
Film Actors quotes by Alan Parker
My idea is just to do something different each time; the next thing I do has to be completely different to the thing I've done before - that's what I try and do, because you know, I'm an actor, not a film star. ~ Eddie Marsan
Film Actors quotes by Eddie Marsan
As a film director and as film actors, you get used to a certain rhythm that's slow. But with TV, it's hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. It's a different pace. ~ Lee Daniels
Film Actors quotes by Lee Daniels
I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time. ~ Julian Fellowes
Film Actors quotes by Julian Fellowes
Too many young actors are strutting about and doing films without having developed some of the depth you need to bring off certain kinds of roles. I think that's the problem with the system, where a lot of younger actors who haven't had a chance to develop suddenly become stars. ~ Christopher Walken
Film Actors quotes by Christopher Walken
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. ~ Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
Film Actors quotes by Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
Look at how many great actors or entertainers have been lost to the world because they did a performance one night and that was it. With film, you capture that, it's shown all over the world and it's there forever. ~ Michael Jackson
Film Actors quotes by Michael Jackson
We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that. ~ Jillian Bach
Film Actors quotes by Jillian Bach
An actor can play two or three lines where he says one thing, but plays the opposite. That's the most important moving part of a film. ~ Jaco Van Dormael
Film Actors quotes by Jaco Van Dormael
I certainly don't feel there's a distinction to be made between a television and a film actor. I think there's a distinction between great actors and not so great actors. But I really think if you watch a person working in television give a wonderful performance, that person is f - ing great, because there is no time. ~ David Oyelowo
Film Actors quotes by David Oyelowo
The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I'm never going to do as a director. ~ Edward Burns
Film Actors quotes by Edward Burns
When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next. ~ Hugh Grant
Film Actors quotes by Hugh Grant
It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day. ~ Renee O'Connor
Film Actors quotes by Renee O'Connor
There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it. ~ Sally Field
Film Actors quotes by Sally Field
I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don't do publicity if I don't like the film. ~ Barbara Hershey
Film Actors quotes by Barbara Hershey
The way the recession has affected Hollywood, a lot of actors that had robust opportunities before in film no longer have such plum options, so cable has done a good job of becoming a happy medium for artists deemed film actors. ~ Omari Hardwick
Film Actors quotes by Omari Hardwick
Seeing a film at the cinema, or a DVD or whatever at home, your brain is really receptive to not only whether the script's working, or if the actors are acting well, but also the colours. ~ Crispian Mills
Film Actors quotes by Crispian Mills
In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment. ~ Abhishek Bachchan
Film Actors quotes by Abhishek Bachchan
It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be. ~ Aaron Tveit
Film Actors quotes by Aaron Tveit
The post-Reagan vacuum is doubly curious because Reagan was himself a vacuum (or seems so to this European outsider), an empty stage-set of a personality across which moved cut-out cartoon figures, dragon ladies or demons of the evil empire, manipulated by others far more ambitious than himself. Many people have commented on his complete lack of ideas and his blurring of fiction and reality in his stumbling recall of old movies. But Reagan's real threat is the compelling example he offers to future film actors and media manipulators with presidential ambitions, all too clearly defined ideas and every intention of producing a thousand-year movie out of them. ~ J.G. Ballard
Film Actors quotes by J.G. Ballard
In the theater, actors are the essential element of the work. In a film, it's a real collaboration - not that theater isn't, because it is - but it's a collaboration to such an extent that you can give a performance in film that sometimes you look at and you go, "Well, that's not the performance I was trying to give at all." ~ Karen Allen
Film Actors quotes by Karen Allen
When I was a Hollywood press agent, I learned how the Hollywood casting system worked. There was a roster of actors who were always perfect as doctors or lawyers or laborers, and the directors just picked the types they needed and stuffed them into film after film. I do the same [with
my characters], book after book. ~ Richard Condon
Film Actors quotes by Richard Condon
Soap operas are like boot camps for film actors, so I really learned a lot. It was a masterclass in working for camera. I made myself watch myself every day. I would sort of try and be objective about it and critique myself a little. There's a lot more skill set than people realize in soap operas. They shoot, like, 35 scenes a day. ~ Finn Wittrock
Film Actors quotes by Finn Wittrock
I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it's more of an actor's medium. I think that film is more of a director's medium. You can't edit something out on stage. It's there. ~ Kim Cattrall
Film Actors quotes by Kim Cattrall
I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors. ~ Martin Freeman
Film Actors quotes by Martin Freeman
I try to steal from the best. Suck it all in. 'Taxi Driver' is really a bible for film actors, a master class. A lot of emotional power, a lot of emotional depth but it's contained and you just see the tip of the iceberg. ~ Sam Rockwell
Film Actors quotes by Sam Rockwell
I just want to keep doing things completely different from the other. I just want to keep working with great people, great filmmakers and great actors and just building on that experience. ~ Christopher Egan
Film Actors quotes by Christopher Egan
I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his
personality. ~ Shahrukh Khan
Film Actors quotes by Shahrukh Khan
The techniques of different directors are very different, and people have different ways of expressing ideas in film. I'm happiest when working with a director as I would be if I were an actor. I'm wanting to provide a really good performance. ~ Howard Shore
Film Actors quotes by Howard Shore
I invite the entire spectrum, shall we call it, of feeling. Because that is my greatest resource as a film actor. I need to be able to feel everything, which is why I refuse to go on any kind of medication. Not that I need to! But my point is, I wouldn't even explore that, because it would get in the way of my instrument. ~ Nicolas Cage
Film Actors quotes by Nicolas Cage
If someone plays a brooding actor in a film, people think they're brooding all the time. ~ Joe Rogan
Film Actors quotes by Joe Rogan
I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end. ~ Jonny Lee Miller
Film Actors quotes by Jonny Lee Miller
Gradually the live TV scene simmered out, replaced by film, and that took place in L.A. So many actors left New York. ~ William Shatner
Film Actors quotes by William Shatner
A lot of times, as an actor, especially a TV or film actor, you don't get a lot of interaction, or you don't get the feeling you are actually touching someone, or someone actually cares about what you do. ~ Christopher Judge
Film Actors quotes by Christopher Judge
I feel my fuller-bodied characters are all in the independent films I do, and in the studio productions, I have to work harder to dimensionalize the characters. And that's certainly part of the job description of an actor - that's what you're supposed to do - but you have to work harder at it in the characters that I've encountered in studio films. ~ Vera Farmiga
Film Actors quotes by Vera Farmiga
You just have to take control of your own performance. ~ Damian Lewis
Film Actors quotes by Damian Lewis
I think the success of a film is very important to an actor. It depends on how many people go to watch your movies; the more the merrier. Nobody wants to do a film for five people. You work so hard that millions of people watch the movie; this is directly related to box office success. ~ Rani Mukerji
Film Actors quotes by Rani Mukerji
You have film actors doing TV, rap stars doing TV, with everyone kind of crossing the line. ~ Anthony Michael Hall
Film Actors quotes by Anthony Michael Hall
New York is the greatest character actor ever. Any film that is shot in New York is elevated by the city. ~ Jeffrey Wright
Film Actors quotes by Jeffrey Wright
I was a film-directing major at NYU. I'm still not sure why I became a directing major, when I was really an actor and a comedian, but there was something that drew me to doing that. ~ Billy Crystal
Film Actors quotes by Billy Crystal
Personally, I love going to see a film when you can really watch a character. If you've just read some article about who the actor is sleeping with, that's gonna be at the back of your mind all the time while you're watching the film. ~ Christian Bale
Film Actors quotes by Christian Bale
Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do - honesty but subtlety. ~ Benjamin Bratt
Film Actors quotes by Benjamin Bratt
I don't think film actors need training, really. ~ Paul Giamatti
Film Actors quotes by Paul Giamatti
The greatest all-around American film actor is James Stewart. ~ David Denby
Film Actors quotes by David Denby
To go into more specifics regarding actors, whether they're from Korea or the U.S., all actors know if they are loved by the director. When they feel that love from the director, they respond by giving a great performance on camera. Also, everyone on set - the crew, the actors - they were aware of the film's message and its broad theme, so these big issues were never discussed on set. ~ Kim Jee-woon
Film Actors quotes by Kim Jee-woon
It's not easy for Chinese actors to do foreign films, and it's not easy for foreign actors to do Chinese films. ~ Zhou Xun
Film Actors quotes by Zhou Xun
I got to work with Dustin Hoffman on a film called 'Billy Bathgate.' I got to work with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn and Bob Zemeckis on 'Death Becomes Her.' There are still a few actors out there that I would like to work with. ~ Bruce Willis
Film Actors quotes by Bruce Willis
There are a lot of actors out there who've made one or two films and who never work again. ~ Phoebe Cates
Film Actors quotes by Phoebe Cates
People on series are now given a lot more opportunities, sometimes more than film actors. ~ Alyssa Milano
Film Actors quotes by Alyssa Milano
The barrier between TV and movies has come down and film actors are willing to do TV and vice versa, because they just want to follow what's interesting. ~ Tina Fey
Film Actors quotes by Tina Fey
I appreciate film actors who respect the film making process. ~ Logan Lerman
Film Actors quotes by Logan Lerman
When you make the film, it's like a chef who works on the meal. After you're working all day in the kitchen and dicing and cutting and putting the sauces on, you don't want to eat it. That's how I always feel about the films. I work on it for a year. I've written it, I've worked with the actors, I've edited, put the music in. I just never want to see it again. ~ Woody Allen
Film Actors quotes by Woody Allen
Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors, 2k insurance, 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That's how to make an independent film. ~ Edward Burns
Film Actors quotes by Edward Burns
Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors. ~ Margaret Rutherford
Film Actors quotes by Margaret Rutherford
Some trials look as much like the trial of an ordinary criminal case as a Hitchcock film looks like a home movie. ~ Stephen Gillers
Film Actors quotes by Stephen Gillers
I can't say I was unhappy as a child actor in films. I had a particularly wonderful time. ~ Roddy McDowall
Film Actors quotes by Roddy McDowall
I don't know anything about directing, but if you love actors, know your story and hire a great company, then anyone can direct a film. ~ Peter Hedges
Film Actors quotes by Peter Hedges
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater. ~ Shirley Knight
Film Actors quotes by Shirley Knight
I think my mom is the inspiration of me wanting to do film and TV and be an actor because she loved film so much. She loved, like, horror films and action films, so growing up, she loved watching all the Charles Bronson films and all the westerns. ~ Rick Gonzalez
Film Actors quotes by Rick Gonzalez
I have a theory ... Theatre actors are better at auditions than film actors. ~ Shaun Sipos
Film Actors quotes by Shaun Sipos
A film is a director's vision ... there is, however, much input an actor or actress can have. ~ Natasha Richardson
Film Actors quotes by Natasha Richardson
Some film actors want to sit back and look at every scene and all that crap. No, you're an actor - tell the story, and when it's told, there's another one to tell. ~ Clarke Peters
Film Actors quotes by Clarke Peters
The film festival measured a mile in length, from the Martinez to the Vieux Port, where sales executives tucked into their platters of fruits de mer, but was only fifty yards deep. For a fortnight the Croisette and its grand hotels willingly became a facade, the largest stage set in the world. Without realizing it, the crowds under the palm trees were extras recruited to play their traditional roles. As they cheered and hooted, they were far more confident than the film actors on display, who seemed ill at ease when they stepped from their limos, like celebrity criminals ferried to a mass trial by jury at the Palais, a full-scale cultural Nuremberg furnished with film clips of the atrocities they had helped to commit. ~ J.G. Ballard
Film Actors quotes by J.G. Ballard
New platforms are emerging: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Xbox. And film actors are gravitating towards television, because there are basically better roles there. Television is making the kind of epics and genres that the movie studios used to make, and often doing it better with more complex narratives and corresponding budgets. ~ David S.Goyer
Film Actors quotes by David S.Goyer
Who says that actors are cattle? Show me a cow who can earn a million dollars a film. ~ Langdon Winner
Film Actors quotes by Langdon Winner
Independent film is for actors that love to act. ~ John Leguizamo
Film Actors quotes by John Leguizamo
Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that. ~ Hugo Weaving
Film Actors quotes by Hugo Weaving
I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point. ~ Michael Caine
Film Actors quotes by Michael Caine
It's ludicrous to think people work for you: 'a film by ... ' doesn't exist. Directed by, maybe, but it's a film from a collective, a group of people whom you consult and seek your counsel and advice and vice versa, too. ~ Xavier Dolan
Film Actors quotes by Xavier Dolan
There's a reason people love watching blooper reels of actors falling about laughing. ~ Mathew Baynton
Film Actors quotes by Mathew Baynton
I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to. ~ Christian Bale
Film Actors quotes by Christian Bale
I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking. ~ Tom Stoppard
Film Actors quotes by Tom Stoppard
When I met Christophe Waltz, I was so shy! I was like, 'Oh, hi! Um, I'm Stephanie!' He's one of my favorite actors. ~ Stephanie Sigman
Film Actors quotes by Stephanie Sigman
Tom Cruise is one of the most successful actors of all time. ~ Ezra Koenig
Film Actors quotes by Ezra Koenig
Concept is what makes actors raise their game. ~ Joe Dempsie
Film Actors quotes by Joe Dempsie
With a horror movie most of the actual jumps and scares are made in the edit. It's often not very scary on set and then you watch the film and suddenly it's very scary because the way the jump scares fit together building up the suspense in the audience because it's making them jump when they're least expecting it. ~ Jeremy Irvine
Film Actors quotes by Jeremy Irvine
Actors endow the villain in fiction with a warmth and quality that makes them memorable. I think we like fictional villains because they're the Mr. Hyde of our own dreams. I've met a few real villains in my time, and they weren't the least bit sympathetic. ~ John Rhys-Davies
Film Actors quotes by John Rhys-Davies
The main difference between the art of the actor and all other arts is that every other [non-performing] artist may create whenever he is in the mood of inspiration. But the artist of the stage must be the master of his own inspiration, and must know how to call it forth at the hour announced on the posters of the theatre. This is the chief secret of our art. ~ Constantin Stanislavski
Film Actors quotes by Constantin Stanislavski
Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them. ~ Roger Ebert
Film Actors quotes by Roger Ebert
It's the forties look," she says to George, hand on her hip, doing a pirouette. "Rosie the Riveter. From the war. Remember her?"
George, whose name is not really George, does not remember. He spent the forties rooting through garbage bag heaps and begging, and doing other things unsuitable for a child. He has a dim memory of some film star posed on a calendar tattering on a latrine wall. Maybe this is the one Prue means. He remembers for an instant his intense resentment of the bright, ignorant smile, the well-fed body. A couple of buddies had helped him take her apart with the rusty blade from a kitchen knife they'd found somewhere in the rubble. He does not consider telling any of this to Prue. ~ Margaret Atwood
Film Actors quotes by Margaret Atwood
I don't consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn't ever do a film just because it's been shot at home. ~ Eric Bana
Film Actors quotes by Eric Bana
We couldn't generalize on the people. Some of them were known to be tough guys and they didn't say much, but some of them were kind of soft-headed, but they did that. That was an East German film. ~ James Stockdale
Film Actors quotes by James Stockdale
I love Back Stage. I have lots of theater friends and actors who depend on Back Stage. ~ Anurag Kashyap
Film Actors quotes by Anurag Kashyap
With Superman, there are certain limitations for an actor. You can't go past certain boundaries because then you cease to be what the character is. ~ Henry Cavill
Film Actors quotes by Henry Cavill
I'm a big believer in rehearsal and a big believer in the actors being able to find the material themselves and identify with the beats themselves without us having to stick to the actual language of the script, just for them to understand what each scene is about. ~ Dean Israelite
Film Actors quotes by Dean Israelite
We must realize that a screenplay is not a novel. Novelists can directly invade the thoughts and feelings of characters. We cannot. Novelists, therefore, can indulge the luxury of free association. We cannot. The prose writer can, if he wishes, walk a character past a shop window, have him look inside and remember his entire childhood. Exposition in prose is relatively easy, but the camera is an X-ray machine for all things false. If we try to force exposition into a film through novel-like free associative editing or semi-subliminal flutter cuts that "glimpse" a character's thoughts, it strikes us as contrived. ~ Robert McKee
Film Actors quotes by Robert McKee
Some of the greatest actors on the planet are the most insecure people. Now I don't know if that insecurity necessarily equates to a lack of confidence. Some people are just very shy individuals. You give them a character to play and a script, and you put them in front of a camera or on a stage, and they just go. ~ Eric Dane
Film Actors quotes by Eric Dane
I would love to work with Bill Murray. I've always been such a big fan. I think he's obviously a great comedic actor but a really interesting actor. ~ Will Ferrell
Film Actors quotes by Will Ferrell
It's very, very important to me, no matter who the person is, to play that person with the utmost degree of truth that I'm able to bring. But playing a character like Jack Sparrow or Willy Wonka, that requires nothing but a degree of responsibility to the intent of the story - responsibility to the film-maker to deliver the goods. ~ Johnny Depp
Film Actors quotes by Johnny Depp
