Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.
Placido Domingo

Taylor Hackford

But at a certain point, and I don't really know... people have asked me this. I don't know exactly what it was that pushed me towards directing, but I think it was a naive notion that if I directed I would be able to play all the roles. A kind of greed.
Peter Bogdanovich

But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process.

Joey Lauren Adams

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life.
Anthony Bourdain

Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.
William Petersen

Essentially, I'm a small-part actor who's been lucky enough to play leading roles for most of his life.
Alec Guinness

Even though these days I'm very selective about what roles I want to do, I will do Stargate anytime they call.
Ronny Cox
