There are professional negotiators working for the writers and the actors, but basically you've got the writers and actors negotiating against businessmen. That's why you get rhetoric.
Dick Wolf

Actors, I don't think, ever really grow up. I'm hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I've been very lucky.
Derek Jacobi

I loved working on Of Mice and Men. It was a wonderful group of people. John Malkovich is to me one of the best actors around right now-and a lot of fun to work with.
Sherilyn Fenn

Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie.
Sam Mendes

Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right.
River Phoenix

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.
Judi Dench

We (actors) don't really change the world. We reflect it... but Washington really changes the world.
Martin Sheen

With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.
Tina Yothers

Well, I've been in several films including documentaries, but the big blockbuster, I was hired as advisor to the actors, I was trying to make Jesuits out of them.
Daniel Berrigan

I pay attention to the actors and stuff, but not even that much. I don't pay attention to who's writing.
Jason Mewes

People think actors have such glamorous lives, but the truth is actors go where nobody wants to go.
Juliette Binoche

The big gap between the ability of actors is confidence.
Kathleen Turner

You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later.
Alec Baldwin

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
Casey Affleck

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

Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.
Colin Firth

Being here allows me to make the case that not all aging, narcissistic movie actors whose children could be mistaken for their grandchildren necessarily act with the same motivation.
Warren Beatty

Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn't want to do because the film was very theoretical - the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else.
Isabelle Huppert

Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.
Harold Ramis

Generally speaking, actors are allowed NO input. Actors are dumb.
Dirk Benedict
