You reach a
point where you say you're not going to do juveniles any
longer.
-- Ron Howard
1954-, American Director,
Actor, Producer
I have tried
to be as eclectic as I possibly can with my professional
life, and so far it's been pretty fun.
-- Holly Hunter
1958-, American Actress
Talk to them
about things they don't know. Try to give them an
inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her.
If she isn't, present her with a valuable painting she will
not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their
asses or twist their noses. And that's about all there is to
it.
-- John Huston
1906-1987, American Film
Director
Abused as we
abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic;
it is merely a form of emotional masturbation. It is the
rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character
affected for the worse by the practice of his profession.
Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can
exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of
hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the
process.
-- Aldous Huxley
1894-1963, British Author

Actors often
behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I
want to be grown up.
-- Jeremy Irons
1948-, British-born American
Actor
In civilized
life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of
man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is
constantly acting a studied part.
-- Washington Irving
1783-1859, American Author
Acting is not
about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole
essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make
them sound like you thought of them that instant.
-- Glenda Jackson
1936-, British Actress and
politician
Acting
provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're
never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always
something to hope for.
-- Glenda Jackson
1936-, British Actress and
