Showtime has given new, young filmmakers - black, white, across the board - an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing.
Morris Chestnut

Part of the work is determining through what instrument you are playing. Actors are physical, olympian storytellers and we should be able to create entire landscapes with nothing.
Ajay Naidu

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.
James Cameron

There are lots of people in the world who do have the advantage of going to a good drama school and just decide that they want to be actors. There's nothing wrong with an untrained actor; they have to get their training somehow, they have to learn.
Erika Slezak

I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.
Steve Guttenberg

Actors take risks all the time. We put ourselves on the line. It is creative to be able to interpret someone's words and breathe life into them.
Patty Duke

Hollywood will accept actresses playing ten years older, but actors can play ten years younger.
Greta Scacchi

The majority of directors I've worked with didn't know how to talk to actors.
Stanley Tucci

Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.
Steve Buscemi

I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
James Denton

Some of the best actors in the world are very exterior actors, Anthony Hopkins being one of them. He knows exactly how to turn his face to get a certain expression. He knows exactly what to do with eyes, and with his voice. It's very exterior.
Boris Kodjoe

So I think it's fair to say it's even more of a challenge for some of these actors that are coming up, because there's such a pressure to look good, to be sexy and be palatable to people on whatever level.
Anthony Michael Hall

I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I've worked with. And I've worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.
Ivan Reitman

I have daughters who are writers and actors but no musicians.
Rosanne Cash

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.
Victoria Pratt

I've worked with Steven Spielberg three times. I'm proud to say that I'm one of those actors that continues to get hired by the same directors.
Joe Pantoliano

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
Aaron Eckhart

The actors I would like to work with are Julia Roberts, just because I've admired her work for a long time, well Brad Pitt. I think you know my reasons.
Christina Milian

It's often wrong to write for specific actors because one ends up using what is least interesting about them, their mannerisms and habits. I prefer not to write for specific people.
Claude Chabrol

I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves.
Charlotte Rampling
