I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.
Kevin Bacon

If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.

I'm always happier and a better actor when I can really lose myself in a character and become somebody else.
Kevin Bacon

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.
Kevin Bacon

There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.
Kevin Bacon

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.
John Cleese

I tend to have an odd split in my mind: I tend to look at it as a writer and when the writing thing is OK and I'm happy with it, then I put on my actor's hat.
John Cleese

I've been a very lucky actor.
Bob Newhart

The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings.

The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind.

Growth as an actor and as a human being are synonymous.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
Keanu Reeves

I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.
Robert De Niro

You're creating a different world and the actor's job is to be able to convince the audience to enter into that world, whether it be actually something that you recognize from your own life or not.
Christian Bale

An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
Christian Bale

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.
Henry Rollins

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
Morgan Freeman

Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it.
Morgan Freeman

And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
Morgan Freeman

I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
