Film Actors Quotes (page 2)

You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don't earn $3 million a picture and can't afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen. James Spader
My goal as an actor was to work - to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn't even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along. Stephen Root
We can see the film stars of yesterday in yesterday’s films, hear the voices of poest and singers on a record, keep the plays of dead dramatists upon our bookshelves, but the actor who holds his audience captive for one brief moment upon a lighted stage vanishes forever when the curtain falls. Daphne du Maurier
I would have practically done all my films in 3D. There is something that 3D gives to the picture that takes you into another land and you stay there and it’s a good place to be. (…) It’s like seeing a moving sculpture of the actor and it’s almost like a combination of theater and film combined and it immerses you in the story more. I saw audiences care about the people more. The minute it started people wanted three things: color, sound and depth. You want to recreate life. Martin Scorsese
Way back when the Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch premiered, a woman journalist raised her hand at the press conference and asked the following: “Why in the world do you have to show so much blood all over the place?” She was pretty worked up about it. One of the actors, Ernest Borgnine, looked a bit perplexed and fielded the question. “Lady, did you ever see anyone shot by a gun without bleeding?” This film came out at the height of the Vietnam War. I love that ... Haruki Murakami
Tony Gilroy quote: "Developing films with directors, developing films with actors,..."
Developing films with directors, developing films with actors, is a poor percentage play for a screenwriter. Tony Gilroy
A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They're up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films. Tyrese Gibson
Martin Freeman quote: "I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other..."
I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors. Martin Freeman
My father, George, has also affected the choices in my life regarding films. I like films that take chances or say something different or experiment. Growing up with him, I was surrounded by different artists - not just actors or film-makers but cartoonists, poets, writers. Leonardo DiCaprio
I like some of the early silent films because I love to watch how actors had to play then. What would interest me today is to do a silent film. Catherine Deneuve
Eric Stoltz quote: "My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,'..."
My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' a glorious experience that spoiled me for future films. Eric Stoltz
Eventually, in '84, we made a film for a little over a million dollars - with American actors that was shot in English - that was shown in Finland A little action film called Born American. Renny Harlin
Stellan Skarsgard quote: "Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and..."
Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn't work. It's a combination of all of the elements. Stellan Skarsgard
You don't see Indians in Hollywood films around which a story can revolve. As soon as we have a social presence in your society, I am sure there will be many actors from our part of the world that will be acting in Hollywood films. Amitabh Bachchan
You need as much ballast as possible to stop you from floating away; you need people around you, things going on, otherwise life is like some film where the money ran out, and there are no sets, or locations, or supporting actors, and it's just one bloke on his own staring into the camera with nothing to do and nobody to speak to, and who'd believe in this character then? Nick Hornby
