Aaron Paul
“This business can be very dangerous to young kids coming out here with the dream. Fame changes people. How can it not? It's almost impossible not to. But I'm thirty years old, and have a grasp of who I am, but when you're seventeen, you think you know everything, but you truly are an infant, still very much learning.”
Julianne Moore
“I'm looking for the truth. The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves.”
Scarlett Johansson
“Being a movie star is a quality that somebody sort of embodies, and being a celebrity is something that people give to you. It has to do with being recognizable, as opposed to something that people recognize in you. I just hope to make good movies. I know that sounds simple, but it’s true”
Sophia Loren
“After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.”
Gillian Jacobs
[On her role in The Box] “I play a babysitter, so I don’t have to take my clothes off in that one."
Jodie Foster
“I guess I’ve played a lot of victims, but that’s what a lot of the history of women is about.”
Meryl Streep
“Sometimes under-preparation is very good, because it instills fear and fear is galvanizing. It makes you break out of yourself. If you're prepared, then you think you're ready, and if you think you're ready, then you're not ready.”
Ryan Gosling
“I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.”
Nicole Kidman
“I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don’t think you ever abandon any of them.”
Viggo Mortensen
“[On the role of an actor in film] It comes down to the fact that you supply the blue, and they supply the other colors and mix them with your blue, and maybe there's some blue left in the painting and maybe there isn't. Maybe there wasn't supposed to be any there in the first place. So have some fun and make a good blue and walk away.”
Marion Cotillard
“I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings, and my first teacher was my mother and then I worked with my father, who helped me to find in myself all those emotions and how to play with the emotions.”
Michael Fassbender
“In drama school, they don't think of movies as a pure form like theater, and it's films that I love most. There's an intimacy in movies - I wanted to have the same impact on others that movies had on me.”
Noomi Rapace
“I wanted to do my [own] stunt scenes. And I wanted also to wake up some kind of aggressive side in me. I think that everybody has some kind of animal inside, and sometimes it’s good to let it out.”
John Malkovich
“I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.”
Anton Yelchin
“I have an aversion to remakes, which is ironic because I'm in two of them right now. When I went back and watched T3 recently, I thought we need to make a better movie. I can't say I'm a fan.”
Amber Heard
“it’s very rare to find a character that is both dynamic and a woman - and not clichéd or obvious way. You just never find it in Hollywood films – the female characters are either the girlfriend, the stepping stone character, the pretty girl next door and so on. Its hard to find a really inspiring a deep character who is allowed to be female – and also beautiful. ”
Liam Neeson
“Acting is invigorating. But I don’t analyse it too much. It’s like a dog smelling where it’s going to do its toilet in the morning.”
Judy Garland
“In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.”
