I don't think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, 'I'd like to star in the play.'
Kristen Stewart

It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future.
Winona Ryder

I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Juliette Binoche

I think Europeans have enough tradition and respect for the experience and body of work of an actress that they don't sell out to the new ones.
Kathleen Turner

What's the classical moment that every actor or actress deals with? A tragic thing. They get that blank, faraway look in their eyes. But in life, it's not that way.
Skeet Ulrich

Then a year would go by and I'd realize I love the acting too much and it is my identity and I don't know how to be anything but an actress. It's who and what I am, so I always come back.
Delta Burke

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
Hilary Duff

I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am.
Judy Holliday

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.
Halle Berry

In my teens or twenties I wanted to do Blanche. Now I'm over that. Those roles are not attracting me now. Which is odd, because that's what most every actress would want to go do.
Delta Burke

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.
Beatrice Wood

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.
Juliette Binoche

Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.
Gina Gershon

I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.
Patricia Heaton

As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.
Christine Lahti

I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.
Amber Tamblyn

That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.
Julie Walters

I told him that I can play it if he wanted to write it, and I would be willing to try and go there emotionally. I did not know as an actress if I would be able to get there, because when you feel really deep emotions or pain, you don't want to go back there.
Hunter Tylo

I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn't be saying it, but it slipped out!
Eva Gabor
