While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance.
Oscar Wilde
How can a president not be an actor?
Ronald Reagan
There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.
Henry David Thoreau
Show me a great actor and I'll show you a lousy husband. Show me a great actress, and you've seen the devil.
W. C. Fields
Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
Rodney Dangerfield
In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.
Henry Miller
If you catch me saying 'I am a serious actor,' I beg you to slap me.
Johnny Depp
The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Like 'Republican party' or 'airplane food.'
Johnny Depp
And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father.
Angelina Jolie
You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
Harvey Fierstein
When they asked Jack Benny to do something for the Actor's Orphanage - he shot both his parents and moved in.
Bob Hope
No, I love the idea that someone changes. As an actor it's always the thing that you look for. He is someone who starts off bright, cheerful and confident and then has everything taken away from him. It's a wonderful journey to take.
Stephen Fry
Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.
Stephen Fry
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.
James Dean
When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn't acting. It's following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.
James Dean
Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
James Dean
Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.
James Dean
Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn't hiss or boo me.
James Dean
To my way of thinking, an actor's course is set even before he's out of the cradle.
James Dean
To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication.
James Dean
