You don't
merely give over your creativity to making a film -- you
give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these
two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option
but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.
-- Daniel Day Lewis
British-born American Actor
The thing
about performance, even if it's only an illusion, is that it
is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within
ourselves infinite possibilities.
-- Daniel Day Lewis
British-born American Actor
People say I'm
cocky, but am I supposed to sit here and be insecure and not
know where my future's going or not realize that moviemaking
is the greatest thing to happen to me?
-- Juliette Lewis
1973-, American Actress
We are born at
the rise of the curtain and we die with its fall, and every
night in the presence of our patrons we write our new
creation, and every night it is blotted out forever; and of
what use is it to say to audience or to critic, ''Ah, but
you should have seen me last Tuesday?''
-- Micheal Macliammoir

It's not a
field, I think, for people who need to have success every
day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you
should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in
confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase
you never catch.
-- John Malkovich
I have spent
more than half a lifetime trying to express the tragic
moment.
-- Marcel Marceau
1923-, French Mime Artist
After Blood
Simple, everybody thought I was from Texas. After
Mississippi Burning, everybody thought I was from
Mississippi and uneducated. After Fargo, everybody's going
to think I'm from Minnesota, pregnant, and have blonde hair.
I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on
film, but if you do your job well, you can make people
believe that you're the character you're trying to be.
-- Frances McDormand
Actors die so
loud.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
