Role Playing Quotes (page 12)

That's the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don't, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can't think about how stupid it might look without the special effects. Victoria Pratt
When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving. So, both Facebook and theatre provide contrived settings that provide the illusion of social interaction. Jesse Eisenberg
I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ? Jeffrey Hunter
I felt (a) it was a great role and (b) I wanted to stay in town. I wanted to stop going to these four month and five month gigs up in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or down in Mexico. I wanted to be around my son, Max. This came along and I was like, "I really want to play this guy!" John C. McGinley
I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass. Charlie Hunnam
Frances McDormand quote: "It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what..."
It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son. Frances McDormand
As children, we looked up to our maids and our nannies, who were playing in some ways the role of our mothers. They were paid to be nice to us, to look after us, teach us things and take time out of their day to be with us. As a child you think of these people as an extension of your mother. Kathryn Stockett
Jon Porter quote: "Teachers are unparalleled in the role they play in children's..."
Teachers are unparalleled in the role they play in children's lives. Jon Porter
I didn't think I could be my imperfect self. I pretended I was Marcia, so I was always playing this role. I became her, but yet I wasn't. It's strange. Maureen McCormick
Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world. It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car. Patrick Stewart
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films. Geena Davis
In S Club I played a role in a band, but now I can go off and be me - My horizon's wide open now. It's scary and it's daunting, but it's an absolute thrill. I feel brand new! Rachel Stevens
Fisher Stevens quote: "But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and..."
But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life. Fisher Stevens
Alan Davies quote: "I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who..."
I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI. Alan Davies
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
