I know it's popular to say this because she's the woman of the moment, but Halle Berry. Not only does she have obvious audience appeal and star quality, but she's a damn good actress too.
Paul Kane

I started off as a model and struggled for some time until I got a break as an actress. I was too stubborn to let go and was sure I was in the right place at the right time. I just fought and I think that's how I am where I am today.
Natasha Henstridge

I play a character every day of my life, and I don't want to play a character as myself. They can judge me as an actress, not as a person. I'm not a spokeswoman for Anna.
Anna Friel

Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received. This gave me a new point of view and a new respect for my work as an actress.
Sarah Polley

The three things I said when I came out of school were I want to work consistently, I want to do good work and I want to be paid fairly, and that's happened. But I didn't become an actress for the money. I do it for other reasons.
Angela Bassett

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
Sarah Polley

Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.
Taryn Manning

You can tell five minutes into it what a girl is after, when she starts asking how much money I make or tells me, 'I wanna be an actress.'
Scott Baio

I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.
Rose Byrne

I'm not an actress, you know. I don't know what's going on. And I'm supposed to be the villain.
Gisele Bundchen

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
Michelle Rodriguez

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence, and it really just jumped off the page.
January Jones

I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, "Well somebody has to be in them," so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
Annette Bening

When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model.
Eva Green

That's why I do what I do, and that's why I wanted to be an actress from the time I was six years old. If I can't effectively move people, then I would prefer not to do it.
Viola Davis

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
Joan Chen

I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.
Anna Friel

We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
Roma Downey

The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique.
Minna Antrim

I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.
Elisabeth Rohm
