Movies are nice, but there are very few roles for women and most of them are sluts or something.
Victoria Jackson

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.
Beau Bridges

My first four roles were all nice guys, Raggedy Man being one of them.
Eric Roberts

My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.
Alicia Witt

My main aim has always been to do good quality films with roles that have some substance. With Power and Beauty there were loads of things that I liked about the movie, which made me opt for it.
Natasha Henstridge

My passion is doing movies, and as long as I keep doing that, I'll be happy. I want to do movies, fun roles and dramatic ones. I love all of it.
Vanessa Hudgens

My whole career strategy has been to build a base so that I could take the roles I want to play. I'd hate to think that a shorter part might not be available because I was worried about my billing.
Jack Nicholson

No, most of the decisions that I make with regard to taking roles, I just look for something that's challenging, something that I think I can accomplish, you know.
Terrence Howard

Now I am careful about the kind of roles that I do.
Rajendra Prasad

Obviously the first roles that you're proud of are the ones that everybody else liked too.
Sam Waterston

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.
Bela Lugosi

Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.
Annette Funicello

Once I got married and had kids, I moved away from romantic roles, because it seemed wrong to have my 3-year-old wondering why Daddy was kissing someone else.
Chevy Chase

One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.
Willem Dafoe

Over a spell of about three years, I played a series of roles that were, for me, all very different, but most of them came out within a six-month period. They all dealt with a kind of dark territory that in some cases had been mined before in movies.
Kevin Spacey

People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
Tim Burton

People who sleep around to get roles are frail and scared and most likely without talent. It's their own little horror show that only they can deal with.
Bruce Campbell

Playing good girls in the 30s was difficult, when the fad was to play bad girls. Actually I think playing bad girls is a bore; I have always had more luck with good girl roles because they require more from an actress.
Olivia De Havilland

Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.
Sarah Polley

Robert Taylor was not only a splendid actor in a wide variety of roles but one of the most handsome men in the western world.
Audrey Meadows
