At 23 it was all about acting. Today it's getting my kids to school, making sure that they've done their homework. I'm in my fifties, and I'm turning into a square. I saw a kid walk into a restaurant the other day and his belt was below his backside. I would have turned him away.
Gary Oldman

Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week.

Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible.
Amanda Seyfried

I did theater when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don't really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush.
Amanda Seyfried

Acting is very start and stop.
Estelle Parsons

Acting is very immediate.

Jill Bennett

If you give an audience a chance they will do half your acting for you.
William Hazlitt

Acting is my first love.
Dawn Wells

I don't think I'm great at acting. I think I'm great at directing.
Melissa Joan Hart

I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
Robert Redford

Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.
Robert Half

The real joy is in constructing a sentence. But I see myself as an actor first because writing is what you do when you are ready and acting is what you do when someone else is ready.
Steve Martin

It's well done if you can do a part and not have the acting show.
Jimmy Stewart

I like to use all of myself, and acting wasn't doing that.
Stanley Tucci

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman

I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
Vivien Leigh

Earlier, I used to charge territories instead of my fees as an actor, but I realised it was better to keep the two apart. Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.
