I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.
Portia de Rossi

When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to become an actress. I owe my career to my will to stop using.
Kirstie Alley

I used up every cent I earned as an actress.
Gene Tierney

I'm not a movie star. I'm just an actress.
Monica Bellucci

I remember feeling that Michael was extremely sensitive when it came to that moment. Most directors are and they usually rely, at least in my experience, on the actress to take over. And Michael is a gentleman.
Madeleine Stowe

I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
Jamie Lee Curtis

Susan is just great. I know I'm biased, but she's a great actress.
Tim Robbins

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
Mike Myers

At some point we have to stop and say, There's Marlee, not, There's the deaf actress.
Marlee Matlin

I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.
Juliette Binoche

The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.
Sally Kirkland

I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.
Kathleen Turner

I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did.
Julie Walters

But I've never felt that being an actress is being in a comfortable place. It's seen from the outside that we're being driven in big cars and having these gorgeous suites and all of that. But come on, it's not about that.
Juliette Binoche

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.
Barbra Streisand

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground.
Lara Flynn Boyle

It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black.
Carly Simon

Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
Portia de Rossi

I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.
Cesar Romero

I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.
Judd Nelson
