Quotes:

I really, totally, hand-on-heart hope he wins it [on wanting Jim Broadbent to win an award... great acting, Andy!]
View quotes by Andy Serkis

I'm disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It's become so much about personality.
View quotes by Skeet Ulrich

But I just think the time is right for me to move on and explore other acting opportunities, whilst leaving the door open for Karen to return.
View quotes by Suranne Jones

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
View quotes by Henry David Thoreau

What I enjoy most is travelling to different places and meeting new people. For me, it’s all about life experiences, and I’m very grateful that acting allows me so many interesting and fulfilling ones.
View quotes by Jensen Ackles

There's not much I haven't had to do for my acting. I've worn a thong on stage, I've been sprayed gold, I've had my head shaved, I've grown beards – you name it.
View quotes by Ray Fearon

More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.
View quotes by Simone Weil

Taking part on this show is a million miles away from my normal acting jobs [X factor battle of the stars]
View quotes by Nikki Sanderson

I'd like to think I'm a mixture of Eva Cassidy and Norah Jones. But I don't want to give up acting, I love Emmerdale too much and I've got some good storylines coming up.
View quotes by Amy Nuttall

When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting. Before going into a fire, there's the same surge of adrenaline you get just before the camera rolls.
View quotes by Phyllis McGinley

You're asking me to give insight into my personality or my philosophy of acting. I just don't think that deeply about it. What it means when I do this or that - I don't know. That's coming outside of myself. I prefer to live my life from inside of me, rather than come outside.
View quotes by Tobey Maguire

I had gaffer tape wrapped round my boobs and a pair of flesh coloured bloomers.

Every bit of me that I could cover, believe me, was covered [on acting in the nude]
View quotes by Hermione Norris

I was on MELROSE PLACE as Matt's lover's wife, and I think it was probably my worst acting ever because I got killed and ... I don't know if I had too much coffee or what, but I couldn't keep my eyes from fluttering when they did the close-up of me dead on the floor
View quotes by Dana Sparks

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.
View quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger

We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't. The present we know is only a movie of the past.
View quotes by Tom Wolfe

It was phenomenal. I was doing two ongoing series, each totally different from the other, and they were both successful. [On a very successful acting period in his career]
View quotes by William Daniels

Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Success is not assured, but America is resolute: this is the best chance for peace we are likely to see for some years to come - and we are acting to help Israelis and Palestinians seize this chance.
View quotes by Condoleezza Rice

In my writing I am acting as a map-maker, an explorer of psychic areas... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.
View quotes by William Borroughs

Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do. I could read at a very early age and I loved stories, losing myself in stories, novels. Reading a novel was like doing a show.
View quotes by Heather Donahue
