The theater is where I belonged; I simply wanted to be an actress my whole life.
Loni Anderson

I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
Lisa Kudrow

I'd say my happiest moment as an actress came when I learned I'd won the Look Magazine Best Supporting Actress Award for 1956 in The Killing.
Marie Windsor

I am happy as happiness goes, for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress.
Lillie Langtry

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

I wanted to be a theater actress, but I thought it would be easier to get to New York and the theater if I had a name than if I just walked the streets as a little girl from California.
Gloria Stuart

I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.
Laura Dern

I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.
Sally Kirkland

I got my dailies every day, although I couldn't always look at them because I was usually preparing for the next day's shoot, both as an actress and as the director.
Debbie Allen

Since it was too difficult to get into the Screen Actor's Guild in New York, I moved to Miami in 1982 and started a successful career as a television commercial actress, obtaining my SAG card there.
Donna Rice

For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.
Taryn Manning

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 think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.
Isabelle Huppert

I always wanted to get into the horror genre. I like scary movies. I want to go to the fan shows and sign posters with my head hanging by a thread like a B-movie actress.
Illeana Douglas

That's why I'm an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself.
Taryn Manning

I work with Sally and I can see Sally doing that. She is very aggressive. Very fun loving and charming... and pushy in a very competitive way and a very healthy way and a very good actress.
Dabney Coleman

It hasn't been smooth or delightful every minute, there were lean years and rough years, but it's been exciting and good and I'm thrilled to be an actress and a singer and to have spent my life this way.
Sally Kellerman

I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.
Blythe Danner

The road Cordelia has travelled, the journey she has taken up to now has been such a joy to play as an actress, because there have been so many chances to do so many different emotions.
Charisma Carpenter
