I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.
Sofia Vergara

Comedy is acting out optimism.
Robin Williams

I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.
Ingrid Bergman

If you took acting away from me, I'd stop breathing.
Ingrid Bergman

Having the right people around you all the time is important. I do take the acting seriously. But this is all fun. I look at it like smoke and mirrors. I still think it's a dream, but I ain't pinching myself yet.
Chris Brown

I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.
W. H. Auden

For minority actors, developing our own projects has to be the eventual path. We have a lot of stories to tell and a really unique voice. But none of that is going to be heard as long as we're just the hired hands, acting.
Jimmy Smits

Acting is the work of two people-it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.
Victoria Abril

Mike Epps

I think, by and large, the level of acting is mediocre. When I go to the theatre, I get so angry. I don't go.
Uta Hagen

My sister started acting professionally when she was twelve, but I wanted to go to college first.
Rooney Mara

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis

Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.
Bette Davis

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
Robert De Niro

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
Kate Winslet

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington

I've done one movie. And it's not a movie I want to stand on as far as acting ability goes. I mean, I'm not going to win an Oscar anytime soon. I'm not Meryl Streep.
Megan Fox

People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.
Tyra Banks

When the target audience is American teenage kids, you can have problems. My generation prized really fine acting and writing. Sometimes you have to go back to the basic principles which underpin great visual comedy.
