I am not one of those actors who believes he has to live the part he is playing. I can turn it on and off.
Donald Pleasence

Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that. I just started doin' it in front of an audience and had to deliver.
David Carradine

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.
Elia Kazan

It took me a long time to realize that you have to have a bit of an interlanguage with actors. You have to give them something that they can act with.
James Cameron

I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.
Aaron Eckhart

Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Harrison Ford

The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.
James Cameron

I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.
Nicole Kidman

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
Harrison Ford

I had great faith in Irish actors, that they'd be hip to the whole theatre thing, and they are. I had no illusions of coming over here as some kind of big shot. It's been a learning experience for me too.
Christopher Meloni

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

It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.
Gene Tierney

Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
Frances McDormand

Actors are very generous.
Blythe Danner

There's nothing more boring than unintelligent actors, because all they have to talk about is themselves and acting. There have to be other things.
Tim Robbins

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.
Puff Daddy

For no. 1, it's great writing, super writing. The second thing is that it's great chemistry with all the actors. We just all got along from the very start. Very get-go, we all got along. We just - it was just like we were all meant to be there together.
Reba McEntire

Certainly there have been better actors than me who have had no careers. Why? I don't know.
Richard Gere

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theater actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.
George Clooney

We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
Javier Bardem
