I've got the best of all worlds. It's every actor's dream to wake up in New York City and go to an acting job rather than to a restaurant to wash dirty dishes. And I live so close to the studios that I ride my bike to work.
Christopher Meloni

I didn't actually begin professionally acting until I was 30.
Katey Sagal

But acting just sort of happened and I found that I loved it. It was such a challenge.
Rachael Leigh Cook

I don't honestly think people know what acting is.
Ben Kingsley

I didn't get into acting to be a public service announcer or an advocate and yet, by virtue of this show and how we handle the subject matter that we've been given, that's kind of how it's evolved in certain ways.
Christopher Meloni

Acting... was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?
Elia Kazan

There's so much crap talked about acting.
Ben Kingsley

I do readings at the public library. I just did a benefit scene night for my old acting teacher.

Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

I never really considered acting as a career until I moved to New York.
Michael C. Hall

I didn't want to start acting like a cartoon.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
Stanley Tucci

I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.
Patricia Velasquez

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!
Ben Kingsley

I love playing other people's work. I love acting.
Eric Bogosian

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

His acting remains forever fixed in a time that never dates.
