To me, the series was the end of the actor, when the series ended.
Jackie Cooper

I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.
Sophia Bush

Every year or so, I try to do something; it keeps me refreshed as to what's going on in front of the lens, and I understand what the actor is going through.
Martin Scorsese

It's nice to establish yourself as an actor first and a singer second. Proof is such a tremendous piece of work, and I'm incredibly lucky to be a part of it. I'm sure that the musicals will happen in the future, though.
Neil Patrick Harris

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

When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
Harrison Ford

So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, 'oh yeah - that's a great point.' And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor.
Christian Bale

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

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?
Christian Bale

If you compare me to an actor, I'm probably one of the best boxers in the profession. But if you compare me as a boxer, I'm probably one of the best actors.

Because I'm now successful, what I'm being offered as an actor is more and more of the same.

I think I am a much better actor than I have allowed myself to be.

I didn't want to be an actor.
James Caviezel

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

In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.
Wentworth Miller

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.
Tim Roth

I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.
Tim Roth

When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this.
Tim Roth

A good actor must never be in love with anyone but himself.
Jean Anouilh

Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
Gary Oldman
