I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.
Herschel Walker

One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.
Willem Dafoe

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
Catherine Deneuve

Mel is a great director because he's not just a director, he's an actor, so he knows how to direct actors. I loved working with him. He's great as a director. He's so intelligent. He's generous. I really loved him.
Monica Bellucci

An actor works with their soul and their thought.
Monica Bellucci

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

I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.
David Herbert Lawrence

It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.
Catherine Deneuve

If someone plays a brooding actor in a film, people think they're brooding all the time.
Joe Rogan

There was no male vampire type in existence. Someone suggested an actor of the Continental School who could play any type, and mentioned me.
Bela Lugosi

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage.
Bela Lugosi

I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession.
Bela Lugosi

The actor depends wholly on himself. He gives his performance in what, to him, seems the most effective manner.
Bela Lugosi

In the studio the director controls the actor's every move, every inflection, every expression.
Bela Lugosi

Every actor is somewhat mad, or else he'd be a plumber or a bookkeeper or a salesman.
Bela Lugosi

I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.
David Duchovny

I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
Catherine Deneuve

To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.
Catherine Deneuve

Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
Catherine Deneuve

You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.
