Sam Rockwell
“I just see myself as a character actor. I`d like to be a star in the same way as Gary Oldman or John Malkovich are famous, who get to do character pieces and not act like movie stars. ”
Laura San Giacomo
“The world is changing and the physical barriers are down now. It's time for the emotional barriers to go down.”
Sidney Poitier
“I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was… a human being.”
Sally Field
“When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"”
Meg Tilly
“I still have a problem with nuns. I follow them around like a kitten with a ball of yarn. After a while, all my characters become very close friends.”
Mira Sorvino
“There’s a side of my personality that goes completely against the East Coast educated person and wants to be a pin-up girl in garages across America…there’s a side that wants to wear the pink angora bikini!”
Kristy Swanson
“I recall that a lot of guys were, like, ‘You got to kiss Jennifer Connelly!’ For all the men out there: Yes, Jennifer is a good kisser. We also shot a European version, which, I think showed a little more skin., on her kissing scene in Higher Learning.”
Alicia Witt
“In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to Peanuts land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.”
Kat Dennings
“There`s nothing else I would rather do, unless there was a profession that involved cuddling bunny rabbits and kittens all day for money.”
Emmy Rossum
“I like René Descartes’ theory about a ball of wax. You can change its form from solid to liquid, but it’s still the same ball of wax. With acting, you are the same person in a different form. You can only be what you know, and you only truly know yourself.”
Claude Rains
“Often we’d secretly like to do the very things we discipline ourselves against. Isn’t that true? Well, here in the movies I can be as mean, as wicked as I want to – and all without hurting anybody. Look at that lovely girl I’ve just shot!”
Rutger Hauer
“Good guy' or 'bad guy', hero or anti hero; doesn't matter to me, what role I play, only the character have something magical.”
Billy Zane
“With me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much.”
Lance Henriksen
“I’ve broken bones doing stunts, I’ve always been one to have a go. But after a while I realized that there are some things not worth doing. Stunt men pay a price, some of them can hardly walk when they’re older. John Woo set me on fire twice for Hard Target (1993). It burnt my ears! But I would’ve done anything for John Woo.”
Emma Stone
“ You feel like you struck gold or something when you read a well-written comedy part for a female. It’s just such a rare thing!”
Evan Rachel Wood
“What’s nice about acting is that you’re not just left with yourself all the time but you get to see the world through so many different people’s eyes.”
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
“I've been performing since I came out of the womb. I've been dancing and singing since I was a toddler. Acting seemed like a natural progression from that.”
Emily Blunt
“You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.”
