I'd wanted to be an actor from the age of five.
Ron Moody

I think the guy who has had the better films is Will Smith. I don't know if he's a better actor than me. I don't think so. I am a rapper first. Man, I just love what I do. I am just the greatest and I can't help it. I'm sorry man.
LL Cool J

I don't really think of myself as an actor.
Dylan Moran

I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off I can chill out about it.

I'm an actor. It's my job.
Brittany Murphy

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.
Harrison Ford

I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.
Elia Kazan

Very often the Group actor is a critic when he's acting and an actor when he's criticizing.
Elia Kazan

I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.
Ben Affleck

To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
Shia LaBeouf

The first thing you should do with an actor is not sign a contract with him. Take him to dinner. And take him for a walk afterwards.
Elia Kazan

When you know what an actor has, you can reach in and arouse it. If you don't know what he has, you don't know what the hell is going on.
Elia Kazan

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.
Tim Robbins

Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that. I just started doin' it in front of an audience and had to deliver.
David Carradine

Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.
Nicole Kidman

I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.
Elia Kazan

Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.
Cameron Diaz

It's different when you're an actor and playing a part, but when it's just you, you feel immensely vulnerable have strangers prodding and prying.
Helena Bonham Carter

But when you're a working actor - and that's what you keep saying in your head, how blessed you are to have a job - and you are working with heavyweights, working with the best guys in TV, it's pretty cool. Exhausting, but cool.
