If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
Marlon Brando

The best actors do not let the wheels show.
Milan Kundera

A lot of talented actors still have to pay their bills.
Mark Wahlberg

It's always strange being a kid on the set, because you're treated like an equal when you're working. But then when you break, the other actors go back to their trailers to take naps and drink beer, and I have to, like, go do school.
Natalie Portman

Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.
Natalie Portman

Many plays - certainly mine - are like blank checks. The actors and directors put their own signatures on them.
Thornton Wilder

Actors cannot choose the manner in which they are born. Consequently, it is the one gesture in their lives completely devoid of self-consciousness.
Helen Hayes

Actors work and slave and it is the color of your hair that can determine your fate in the end.
Helen Hayes

I think some actors thrive on working at a much greater pace than I do.
Daniel Day-Lewis

I love acting, truly my favorite people are actors.
Sean Penn

A lot of comic actors derive their main force from childish behavior. Most great comics are doing such silly things; you'd say, 'That's what a child would do.'
Gene Wilder

Actors fall into this trap if they missed being loved for who they really were and not for what they could do - sing, dance, joke about - then they take that as love.
Gene Wilder

I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
Robert Redford

Seems to me that this business, for actors anyway, is not so much about whether or not you do good work. It's about whether or not you get the chance to do good work.
Hugh Laurie

The genuine artist is never "true to life." He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.
Wallace Stevens

I don't think I know a Scientologist except when I see one or two of their actors on the Hollywood screen.
Jerry Falwell

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

Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors.
Walter Winchell

I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone

My influences were Peter Sellers and the great British character actors.
Tracey Ullman
