Film Acting Quotes

Film acting is really the trick of doing moments. You rarely do a take that lasts more than 20 seconds. You really earn your spurs acting onstage. I needed to do that for myself. I would hate to say at the end of everything that I never did a stage play. Sam Shepard
James Lipton quote: "The difference - the fundamental difference between theater..."
The difference - the fundamental difference between theater acting and film acting is that film acting is disjunctive. James Lipton
James Lipton quote: "The foundation for film acting is stage acting."
The foundation for film acting is stage acting. James Lipton
Hugh Grant quote: "And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature...."
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow. Hugh Grant
Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project. Alex Borstein
Acting for me, is a passion, but it's also a job, and I've always approached it as such. I have a certain manual-laborist view of acting. There's no shame in taking a film because you need some money. James Spader
Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished. Scott Glenn
Shelley Duvall quote: "Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same."

Jean Claude Van Damme quote: "In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic..."
In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama. Jean Claude Van Damme
What most of us must be involved in--whether we teach or write, make films, write films, direct films, play music, act, whatever we do--has to not only make people feel good and inspired and at one with other people around them, but also has to educate a new generation to do this very modest thing: change the world. Howard Zinn
Now it turns out that a few broadsheet film critics in Britain do indeed belong to a category of people who would have resisted Hitler when he came to power. So the great shame is, clearly film critics should have been running Austria at the time, because Hitler would have represented no problem to them at all. [The Guardian's] Peter Bradshaw would have known exactly what to do, and he would not have been remotely fallible to any Nazi who threatened his life. No, he would have died in heroic... David Hare
We made one film called Thy Neighbor's Wife in which I got flogged at the public whipping post for adultery. I did my best acting in that film, I guess. Cleo Moore
Stephen Fry quote: "You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes..."
You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film. Stephen Fry
Since I was a baby my goal was to be on TV because film was just impossible - you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in 'East-Enders' because film wasn't even a dream. The community were very much like, 'How can you want to act? It's such a low-class profession.' Archie Panjabi
I think I have always tried to do the smaller films. I like to jump around and there is something really nice for acting in a smaller film. But I think now, Hollywood's movies certainly involve a younger generation for the most part and so... I love going back and forth. Sigourney Weaver
