I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny.
Brendan Fraser

I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not the devil either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged.
Maria Callas

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.
Marisa Tomei

I became the stage for the great argument between Nietzsche and Rousseau. I was the extra ready to take on all the roles.
Jacques Derrida

I believe that every role that I have done this far has had quality and content. My roles have been very demanding and every role has been a challenge and a learning experience that has helped me mature as an actress.
Natasha Henstridge

I can't believe I've been doing it so long. In the last three or four years, I've slowed down. I'm doing only the roles I really want to do.
Jacqueline Bisset

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
Elle Macpherson

I choose my roles carefully.
Catherine Deneuve

I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.
Elijah Wood

I definitely would like to do some more dramatic roles.
Owen Wilson

I don't condemn anyone for making their choices. If someone chooses those roles, fine. But not for me. When someone stops me and says, You're the reason I became an actress, that lets me know I made the right decision.
Cicely Tyson

I don't really have preferred roles except those with some complexity.
Richard Roxburgh

I don't think of it at the moment, but the roles that interest me are those of young people.
Isabelle Adjani

I don't want to play only Latin women. I want to have roles in English.
Paz Vega

I feel it most in my work, because there aren't roles about women who are spiritually evolving. That anyone would even write something like that, something that's worth doing, would be a miracle!
Olympia Dukakis

I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.
Maggie Gyllenhaal

I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.
Kathleen Turner

I guess I'm attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
Johnny Depp

I guess you should approach the roles differently when they're actual people who have been, this is the difference. Getting the accent exact, or the hair exact is less important in a situation like this.
Mary Stuart Masterson

I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again.
Alan Ladd
