Zhou Xun
“I think it’s the same to be an actress anywhere because the profession is about attitudes towards events — it is a process to try to understand life. I think this is the case for actors across the world.”
Anita Mui
“Instant shining is not eternity. Show business is a hard life. I wonder how many people will remember me after I leave the business for good. My hope is that when they feel bored and look at the stars in the sky, people will think of my name.”
Alexandre Desplat
“I write music for movies because I love movies. I like to watch and be inspired by the structure, the camera movements, the actors, the sound. That’s why I chose to write for movies. Would I ideally like to start with the script? Sure, but that is not to say I don’t feel I can get just as much out of it – and contribute just as much to the movie – if that is not possible.”
Mia Wasikowska
“There's the kind of fame where people follow you around on the street and talk about your bum. And then there's the kind where you're known for your work. I prefer the latter.”
Emma Thompson
“Acting simply cannot be about how you look. It would be very difficult to make a film where you have to be beautiful in every shot. You have to put so much effort into it; you have to hold your head at particular angles, put the light in a certain way and I don't like acting like that. I like to act unconscious of how I look.”
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.”
James Franco
“As an actor, you can tell yourself that your self-worth isn’t measured by how your last movie did at the box office. But I found when acting was all I had, inevitably I would be emotionally affected by how well a movie did.”
Anna May Wong
“I see no reason why Chinese and English people should not kiss on the screen, even though I prefer not to.”
Jena Malone
“But I've really learned you don't have to fit in. No matter where you go, you're always going to be you and if they don't like you for who you are, then what's the point of being someone else? ”
Vincent Cassel
“My father is best known for his light comedies, and I'm best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.”
Sean Penn
“It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role; I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama.”
Sarah Polley
“Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.”
Kevin Bacon
“A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.”
Anne Hathaway
“I got into this business to be an actress, to scare myself, and force myself into a place outside of my comfort zone.”
