The greatest impediments to changes in our traditional roles seem to lie not in the visible world of conscious intent, but in the murky realm of the unconscious mind.
Augustus Y. Napier

The number of Latino roles is very limited, and it's unfortunate there isn't more color-blind casting.
Jai Rodriguez

The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
Meryl Streep

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio

The roles for South Asians may have increased by a decent number but there has been a negligible change in the quality of these roles. We still have to fight stereotypes. Fortunately, I've had the priviledge of working with people who look beyond the color of your skin.
Lavrenti Lopes

The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
Kim Cattrall

The scenes in the show were filmed with a crew of really excellent stunt jumpers, but we had the feel of the parachutes, so we could be more realistic in the roles.
Ken Curtis

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.
Hilary Swank

The whole point about becoming an actor is variety and changing roles.
Richard Wilson

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
Marcello Mastroianni

Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.
Angelina Jolie

There are a couple of roles I haven't played that I want to. I would love to play Shiloh.
David Ogden Stiers

There are always good parts. They may not pay what you want, and they may not have as many days' work as you want, they may not have the billing that you want, they may not have a lot of things, but - the content of the role itself - I find there are many roles.
Anne Bancroft

There are not many roles where women are really active.
Kathleen Quinlan

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act.
Cuba Gooding, Jr.

There are so few strong roles for women, especially young women. And Veronica is very serious but also very likable. She's a lone wolf, and it appeals to people that she isn't rich and doesn't have a lot of friends. No posse. She's just like you, like most of us.
Kristen Bell

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
William H. Macy

There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
Harvey Fierstein

There is no roles. No one is keeping any roles. The drummer is also answering everybody and everything. So it is a constant conversation and communication between musicians on an extremely high level with extremely valuable material, motifs, and melodies.
Miroslav Vitous

There just aren't that many Jesus roles around.
Jeffrey Hunter
