It is the quality of the moment, not the number of days, or events, or of actors, that imports.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Actors are one family over the entire world.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
Bette Davis

Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
Bette Davis

Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.
Charlie Chaplin

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie Chaplin

When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson

Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Fred Allen

Actors are cattle.
Alfred Hitchcock

I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
Alfred Hitchcock

Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of LA in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers.
Jay Leno

Do you know what White House correspondents call actors who pose as reporters? Anchors.
Jay Leno

Jerry Weintraub, the producer, might be a pain in the ass, but he really knows how to treat his actors.
Bernie Mac

God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.
Garrison Keillor

Actors die so loud.
Henry Miller

I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
Denzel Washington

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.
Christopher Walken

The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors.
Stella Adler

So it's kind of nervous to be in this situation, but at the same time you look at all those actors and the work that they've done, I've been in bigger films than all of them and still kept my integrity and still kept my respect.
Shia LaBeouf

I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
