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

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention.
Julie Christie

Well my taste wasn't very good when I first started out. But later, when I began to appreciate the art of acting, I would say the actress I most admire is Vanessa Redgrave.
Ellen Burstyn

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'm an actress who likes a strong, communicative director.
Kristin Davis

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.

I know it's popular to say this because she's the woman of the moment, but Halle Berry. Not only does she have obvious audience appeal and star quality, but she's a damn good actress too.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.
Mariska Hargitay

I started off as a model and struggled for some time until I got a break as an actress. I was too stubborn to let go and was sure I was in the right place at the right time. I just fought and I think that's how I am where I am today.
Natasha Henstridge

I play a character every day of my life, and I don't want to play a character as myself. They can judge me as an actress, not as a person. I'm not a spokeswoman for Anna.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
Sarah Polley

Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.
Taryn Manning

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.

I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.
Kristin Davis

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
Joan Chen

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

I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.

I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.
