I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.
Claire Danes

Outside of being an actress, I feel like being out is the biggest way that gay people can change perception. There are people that give millions of dollars to gay organizations but are closeted to their own families.
Jill Bennett

I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband.
Billie Burke

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
Frances McDormand

I'm not the kind of actress that goes home with the character. I mean, you're thinking about the work or the next day's scenes, but not staying in character. But as a film goes on, you become more and more fragile, emotionally. And physically too, actually.
Natasha Richardson

Every actor and actress is possessed of the absorbing passion to create something distinctive and unique.
Hattie McDaniel

I love Joan Collins. She's a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She's such a good actress.
Robert Wagner

I really always felt that I was going to be an actress. I had a lot of confidence in the fact that I would do well from a very early age. I didn't know how tough the business is.
Susan Lucci

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.
Marisa Tomei

So now I feel I'm lucky in the respect that I can sort of pick a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren't that many roles to pick from.
Rachel True

I'd never played a cop before, and this particular role with what she is going thru, especially during the first season, covering her alcoholism to her on the job performance, was a great opportunity for me as an actress.
Nancy McKeon

I never wondered whether I should be a stage actress or a movie actress.
Isabelle Huppert

The best thing about being an actress is getting good concert tickets.
Sara Gilbert

People go 'You look a lot like Minnie Driver.' Once I said, 'Thanks, Minnie is a great actress.' But, it blew up in my face. This person said, 'Nah, didn't like the last movie she did.'
Minnie Driver

If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.
Karen Black

When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.
Rachel Ward

Now supposing I had the part of a young woman to give out, one that wanted some excellent acting. If I were to go to the stage for my actress I would have to take a matured woman, one who would act splendidly, but who would look too old for the requirements.
D. W. Griffith

Demi Moore is a terrific woman and a hell of an actress.
Mark Goddard

I think if you work as an actress and are supposed as a character to be in love with some actor, then to some extent you do have to be in love with him.
Dorothy Stratten

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
Anjelica Huston
