W120

Edgar Allan Poe

“Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.”

 
W120

Dr. Seuss

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

 
W120

Saoirse Ronan

“Be the person I'm playing. That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.”

 
W120

Kim Novak

“I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.”

 
W120

Oliver Hardy

“The world is full of Laurel and Hardys. I saw them all the time as a boy at my mother’s hotel. There’s always the dumb, dumb guy, who never has anything bad happen to him, and the smart guy who’s even dumber than the dumb guy, only he doesn’t know it.”

 
W120

Stan Laurel

“Crazy humor was always my type of humor, but it`s the quiet kind of craziness I like. The rough type of nut humor like The Marx Brothers I could never go for.”

 
W120

Dean Martin

“When Jerry Lewis and I were big, we used to go to parties, and everybody thought I was big-headed and stuck up, and I wasn't. It was because I didn't know how to speak good English, so I used to keep my mouth shut.”

 
W120

William Shakespeare

“Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

 
W120

Michelle Monaghan

“You don't grow up in a town of 700 thinking you're going to be an actress. I loved doing plays, but it was just something to keep me busy.”

 
W120

Walt Disney

“I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with ‘expressing’ myself with obscure creative impressions.”

 
W120

Anthony Hopkins

“I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.”

 
W120

Jim Broadbent

“The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.”

 
W120

Daryl Hannah

“A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar -- you pretend it's not there.”

 
W120

Olivia Wilde

“I’m now convinced that I’m a doctor. I mean, if someone says they have a pain, I’m like, ‘Well, that’s your spleen...”

 
W120

John Candy

“I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.”

 
W120

Roald Dahl

“Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people. ”

 
W120

Jennifer Connelly

“I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.”

 
W120

Tommy Lee Jones

“Acting is fun for me and it doesn't really matter how, whether it's hard work or easy work, it's always fun. ”

 
W120

David Thewlis

“Well, The Island of Dr Moreau wasn't very good, was it? I remember the day Brando turned round to me and said this was the craziest thing he'd ever been involved in.”

 
W120

Michael Gambon

“Theater actors are just tolerated. You have to be a movie star to be a celebrity.”

 
W120

Jack Nicholson

“I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.”

 
W120

William H. Macy

“I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies. ”
