Character Roles Quotes (page 2)

When you've played Buffy - who's such a strong female role model - it's really hard for another female character to compare to her. Sarah Michelle Gellar
Acting is an art form and you want to take roles that are challenged and it's more of a challenge I think to play dark characters. Not that I want to always play those, but it is a challenge and challenges are rewarding and fun. James Franco
My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath,' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day. Jane Fonda
Keir Dullea quote: "I play a recurring role for a character named Doctor Imo. I..."
I play a recurring role for a character named Doctor Imo. I assist the villain and show up from time to time. Keir Dullea
I am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles. Brad Dourif
Jack Dee quote: "Whenever you're in any acting role you are mortgaging your own..."
Whenever you're in any acting role you are mortgaging your own character. Jack Dee
I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. 'Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?' Martha Plimpton
I remember that it was never that difficult for me to get a director to look up and pay attention to me. Mind you, I don't know if that's necessarily charm. But I've played roles where my character has to be charming and I've found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate. James McAvoy
Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else. Richard Masur
I've always wanted to shave my head for a role because I've wanted to play a character who had a shaved head. I don't know what the fascination is. Elisha Cuthbert
Piper Perabo quote: "Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a..."
Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a role that's really different. Piper Perabo
I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character. Jason Wiles
I never get the tall, blonde, glamorous roles because I'm not tall, blonde and glamorous. I'm more the wee, disturbing characters because of the way I look or sound. Shirley Henderson
I try to explain to people that you get the roles that are right when they're right. If you have a nerd character but you're kind of a cool guy, you're probably not going to get the nerd part. The nerd is going to get the nerd part. You know, someone like me. Ed Helms
Alanna Ubach quote: "When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into..."
When I get a role, I try to delve as deeply as possible into the character. Alanna Ubach
