Acting Quotes
Having been an actress was also good because I know how to talk to the actors. I know what comes through and what doesn't and often times I've worked with a director whose directions I knew I'd just better not try to listen to because it messes you up. So, having had an acting background really helped.
-
Anderson Quotes
I suppose the part nearest me is Laura Reynolds in Tea and Sympathy. Of course playright Bob Anderson didn't know that, but he wrote Laura Reynolds and Laura Reynolds happened to be me. It was the coming together of a part and an actress - the same attitude to life, a certain shyness in life, a deep compassion for people who are being persecuted for anything.

Acting Quotes
I wasn't asked to go, and I'm not one to just show up, ... I've since been told that it's dangerous for an actress or actor to meet their subject. Many times they start doing an impersonation of the person rather than acting the part. Kathy said she'd seen me on television but didn't want me on the set for that reason.
-
Adapted Quotes
WI played a young Helena Bonham Carter in a BBC film called 'A Dark Adapted Eye,' and I thought she was a completely spellbinding person. Totally unmoved by other people's expectations, fashions or opinions. She's probably the coolest English actress there is. Incredibly idiosyncratic.
-
Added Quotes
This scene originally looked very different. The actress was standing on a wooden platform, surrounded by a railing to keep tourists from falling down the mountain, hardly as dramatic as the finished product. It was amazingly challenging, due to the fact that the camera was constantly moving around her, and the sheer amount of work required to perfect the shot. Trees and bushes had to be added, a village in the background required removal, and clothing was even added to the actress. It was a complete and all encompassing transformation.
-
Admitted Quotes
The delightful sense of importance that had been mine as a child actress was taken out of me. It seemed as if anyone could do better than I did. In every part I was worse than in the one before, and even my mother admitted that it would be a mercy if gestures could be dispensed with entirely.
-
Associated Quotes
To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress - who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood - and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I've come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium.
-
Becoming Quotes
Though I technically come from a film family, my father had stopped making films even before my brother and I were born. So I did not really grow up in a filmi environment. And when I was growing up, becoming an actress was still quite a taboo. And you may not believe this, but even my father did not want me to join films.
-
Came Quotes
When I started acting classes, I was inspired. The truth is I never dreamt of being an actress as a child. But it just happened. When I started studying and getting on stage, it just came to me. I never said 'I want to be an actress.' It just happened. I started discovering myself and realized I loved it.
-
Afterwards Quotes
We went to see the movie together, ... They got these good looking actors and actress to play him and his wife, so he was really happy. Afterwards he said: 'I get letters and e-mails from all over the world and now they've made a movie of my life story. I have to pinch myself. You can't buy things like that'.
-
Aspire Quotes
There's no such thing as too late. There are different roles for different ages, assuming an actress has something to offer. There aren't many Helen Mirrens and Meryl Steeps, and it takes a lot of talent to get to that level. I hope I have it. That's the model I aspire to if I'm lucky enough. It's all about luck.
-
Annoying Quotes
I used to say Edinburgh was a beautiful actress with no talent. I thought it was just like a shortbread tin. I think that's because I did six Festivals in a row there, and I never saw the real Edinburgh, just a lot of deeply annoying Cambridge Footlights kids wanting to be actresses.
-
Absolutely Quotes
No woman has less temptation to seek matrimony from sordid motives of selfishness or convenience. The actress is an absolutely independent wage-earner, and better compensated than the great majority of women who make their own livelihoods. She need not marry for money, or social position, for these are her natural possessions.
-
Adult Quotes
This guy is great and he'll tap us directly into this exciting new trend in the adult movie industry. Eon will find the first actress to give a fresh, new face to the imprint. He'll also be looking for all sorts of alternative and progressive talent and programming to keep us at the top of this genre. I can't wait to see his first work.

Audiences Quotes
The audience that would see that movie, by and large, doesn't go to see horror films, ... It was a great pleasure to make, and to see Meryl (Streep) nominated (for a best actress Oscar) for it. But most of the people I run into who loved it are surprised that I made it. When you have a name that means scares, you have to live with that.
-
Answer Quotes
I hope the next actress offered millions to play the 'fat girl for the day' stops to think about this before she signs the contract - even if just to ask, like any professional actress would in any other situation, 'Why does she weigh 350 pounds? And why me for the part?' If the director can't answer these questions, don't do the movie.
-
Absolute Quotes
I really just don't want to act any more. People say why and I said, 'Have you been to the movies lately?' They're just horrible. They're just so bad. And I was sent this script and I said to the agent at the time, 'What's the deal?' He said, 'Well, they've offered it to you.' I said, 'Yes! The answer is yes!' (Laughs) Are you kidding? This thing is hilarious. It just is so right on target, it's so not politically correct. And then I heard Evan was going to be in it? The absolute most talented actress I've worked with in a decade. Really, honestly? You can't imagine how talented she is.
-
Amazing Quotes
I don't want to be someone people feel sorry for; I don't want to be a martyr. I think life is amazing and at the end of the day whether I'm the best actress in the world or the worst, on my deathbed it's not going to count. What your input into life is actually what counts so that makes me have a completely different attitude.
-
Again Quotes
The characters I've played as an actress have been really challenging and emotionally rewarding, but there was just something missing. I was finding over and over again that directors were looking to me to help with troubles on set as far as characters' relationships, special effects and story points were concerned.
