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

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'm not really a songwriter - I'm an interpreter. So in a sense I am an actress first and foremost. I act out the songs, and I lead with my heart.
Diana Ross

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

Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks.
Monica Bellucci

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
Monica Bellucci

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.

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

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

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

For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!
Isabelle Huppert

I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.
Judy Holliday

When I told my mother that I wanted to be an actress, she said, you can't live here and do that, and so I moved out. I was determined to prove her wrong because she was so sure that I was going to go astray. And that's the juice that kept me going.
Cicely Tyson

I think every day there is some new actress comes out and inspires me to do something else... like Hilary Swank. After she did Boys Don't Cry, I felt this yearning to go out and be even half as good as she was.
Elizabeth Moss

When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.
