A large part of acting is just pretending. You get to work with these other great make-believers, all making believe as hard as they can.
Jeff Bridges
A lot of my audience are in their 50s. But they want me to pretend to continue to be pretending.
Pete Townshend
Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
Katharine Hepburn
An awful lot of gay pop stars pretend to be straight. I'm going to start a movement of straight pop stars pretending to be gay.
Robbie Williams
As a kid, you run around the house pretending to be a superhero, and now to be doing it as a job, I feel very lucky.
Chris Hemsworth
Being is like pretending.
Mira Sorvino
But I think the only thing that annoys me about that is if I suddenly find someone on commercial radio or something like that, mimicking my voice or actions and trying to promote a product and pretending it's me doing it.
Richie Benaud
But today, government is taking those rights from us, pretending that it gives us our rights. Indeed, those rights come from God, and it was recognized throughout our history as such.
Roy Moore
China is a civilization pretending to be a nation.
Michael Ledeen
Duty largely consists of pretending that the trivial is critical.
John Fowles
Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
Bill Cosby
I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny.
Brendan Fraser
I always think of the character as being me. But me wearing a 'coat', which may be a different way of speaking, moving or regarding other people. To me, acting is pretending, just like kids playing, only you pretend as if it were really, really real.
Fred Melamed
I don't think that we necessarily lie. I mean, we make our living by pretending that we're someone else. I don't tell tall tales. I always tell the truth.
Albert Finney
I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I hate crowds of people pretending to be happy on one night of the year, where they get drunk and obnoxious by the end of the night.
Kenny Hickey
I knew that this was what I wanted to talk about on stage. There was no point being coy about it, or pretending that I wasn't gay. That was the substance of my whole act. If you took that away, there would be nothing left.
Julian Clary
I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.
John Ritter
I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.
Jamie Lee Curtis
I realized that I wanted to play characters and do traditional theatre. I wanted to make believe again. I like putting on a costume and pretending to be someone else for a few hours, and I have a great respect for playwrights.
