I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend - leading roles for women were few and far between.
Roma Downey

I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
Gene Hackman

I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ?
Jeffrey Hunter

I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
Morris Chestnut

I would like to be as fit as I've always been. I've been blessed with good health, I've been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles, you need an Olympian stamina. I, fortunately, have that.
Derek Jacobi

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
Miranda Richardson

I'd like to find great roles close to home and work on great projects while staying near my family. My family's the most important thing to me right now.
Harry Hamlin

I'd like to quit the supernatural roles and play just an interesting, down-to-earth person.
Bela Lugosi

I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.
Noah Hathaway

I'd rather do theater and British films than move to LA in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
Kate Winslet

I'll ask you if you can play some speaking roles.
Donald Wolfit

I'm always glad to be offered roles, but wouldn't take any role as this could do you more harm than good, but I've been at what they call 'on the top' as far as being known for twenty years.
Peter Cushing

I'm attracted to roles where I don't have to wear makeup.
Robin Tunney

I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television.
Robert Englund

I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.
Melinda Clarke

I'm just a pack mule. I've played leads and I've played character roles. Any actress in Hollywood will tell you as your age climbs, the leads thin.
Marcia Gay Harden

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.
Joshua Leonard

I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting.
Gabrielle Union

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.
Kristen Bell

I'm not intimidated by lead roles. I'm better in them. I don't feel pressure. I feel released at times like that. That's what I'm born to do.
Morgan Freeman
