There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
Maureen O'Hara

There's been a lot of role reversal going on in the band. The roles people have been playing for a long time will always be there, but everybody's willing to try on different outfits.
Stone Gossard

These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.
Isabella Rossellini

Today, I guess I give a lot more thought to the roles before I sign them.
Natasha Henstridge

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.
Natalie Wood

Today's global landscape is increasingly interconnected. China and the Middle East play critical roles towards international peace and security.
Rick Larsen

We did many of our own stunts. We had our hands full. In fact, the roles were physically demanding.
Mary-Kate Olsen

We have a problem now with parents stealing their kids' CDs, so the roles have been reversed.
Jerry Only

We thought we'd write a good script for women, giving them the fun roles that generally men get.
Andy Wachowski

We were using Brooke as an actress; she was playing different roles: a liberated woman, a teenager, a vamp.
Calvin Klein

We're always trailing, as far as the amount of roles that are written for us and the films that are being made that have black characters in them. I don't know if that's going to change.
Don Cheadle

Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.
Anna Friel

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.
Chris Cooper

Well, I have a couple of projects in the pipeline, but I'm taking things slow for now and being choosy about the roles I take up. One thing I can assure you of is that you are going to see a lot of me!
Natasha Henstridge

Well, I think certain roles are chosen for us. The moment I read Pete Campbell I thought: I can do this, this is mine. And in Money, too. The truth is I turn down a lot of projects. If a character doesn't have some kind of internal struggle, it's no good for me.
Vincent Kartheiser

Well, my favorite roles so far are Lucas and Lost Boys.
Corey Haim

Well, no. I was getting into trouble messing around with it for roles. So one night I went home, cut it down with a pair of scissors and then got in the bath and shaved it all off. I've never looked back.
Richard O'Brien

Well, this is an unfortunate part of the UN institution. It's the - the theater of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament.
Benjamin Netanyahu

What happens is things come to you - director, script - and if you respond to it, it's because it's tapping into some part of what's inside you, and different roles tap into different parts.
Sean Penn

Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn't be more interesting - playing mothers, divorcees. I think it's going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets.
Naomi Watts
