I'm not the kind of actor that would know what my character had for breakfast last Tuesday.
Liam Neeson

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?
Tom Ford

Eisenhower had about the most expressive face I ever painted, I guess. Just like an actor's. Very mobile. When he talked, he used all the facial muscles. And he had a great, wide mouth that I liked. When he smiled, it was just like the sun came out.
Norman Rockwell

I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I'm enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor - it's my aspiration - so I want to do other films. I want to write something and I want to direct something!
Daniel Radcliffe

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.
Anthony Hopkins

Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.

I'm living every ten-year-old boy's fantasy. The other day, Chris and I had this big scene where we had to pull out our guns, and I was thinking, 'Here we are in New York City - a place where every actor wants to be - and we are literally playing cops and robbers. How great is that?'
Mariska Hargitay

Paul Newman

I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
Alan Alda

It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character.
Alan Alda

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.
Russell Crowe

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.
Natalie Wood

If there's anything I'd hate as a son-in-law, it's an actor; and if there's anything I think I'd hate worse than an actor as a son-in-law, it's an English actor.
Joseph P. Kennedy

I am still seeking to become firmly established as an actor.
DeForest Kelley

I have considered myself a mature actor.
DeForest Kelley

I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.
Joe DiMaggio

As an actor, being on autopilot is the worst thing possible.
Matthew Perry

I'm not the type of actor who is trying to do a whole bunch of different stuff, you know what I mean?
