Acting Quotes - page 23

Music is something that I have to do on a regular basis. It really is my life and I absolutely love it. It's a part of my day-to-day. So if I had to choose, it would be music. But I love acting too. (Joanna Noelle Levesque)

High school is just horrible in general. So, I think it was a good time for me to have stopped acting. I got to be normal in high school.

Jodi Sweetin

I was living in New York City and flat broke. My next door neighbor was an actor and he always seemed to be having more fun than I was. He convinced me to give acting a shot, but because of my shyness I was sure it would be a lost cause.

Joe Flanigan

I really do want to act, I love acting, and I want to do it in the long run.

Joel Courtney

I don't think I was fully satisfied acting. You know, the girlfriend role or the best friend role, and that wasn't enough for me.

Joey Lauren Adams

When actors are being defensive and defending their position, that is when you get less than good acting.

John Boorman

My tutors at drama school commended and criticised my use of comedy in my acting for a long time at drama school. They said I had a tendency to somehow perform the most tragic of scenes in a slightly flippant way.

John Bradley-West

I'm getting out of acting.

John Corbett

Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That's why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there's a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad.

John Corbett

I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I got to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an English teacher; that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.

John Mahoney

Acting is sort of an extension of childhood. You get to play all of these roles and have so much fun. Playing an athlete would be so cool. Or where you get to shoot guns, ride horses. I wouldn't turn down any of that. (Jon Hamm)

I think acting is a gift. I look at someone like Ben Kingsley, and hes incredibly charismatic, even when hes not acting. Hes an incredibly hard worker, and he has a very specific system that he does with his work.

Jonathan Jackson

I love acting and will take all the time to continue to act. But sometimes I'd like to try my hand at directing.

Jordan Gavaris

I wanted to go to acting school, and I did a few modeling jobs to pay for acting school. I never aspired to be a model. I met lots of photographers, and I learned a lot about light - as a source of love and illumination, light as a gift of love. On film, that's a massive contribution.

Jacqueline Bisset

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

Jacqueline Bisset

You need to become a good listener. As you're working, you hear someone else's lines and how you absorb them becomes your acting.

Jacqueline Bisset

Coming from theater, and having been to acting school, and done little, small Australian independent movies, a lot of the time, it's always about character.

Jacqueline McKenzie

I also want to try acting - give it a shot - maybe take some lessons, I think that could be fun. I feel like that could even help me with modeling, because in a way you have to act.

Jacquelyn Jablonski

Make acting seem real and as if it weren't acting. Just make it real.

Joseph Mazzello

After high school, I was going to move out to L.A. and try to pursue my dreams of acting. My parents said, 'That's fine. We support you, but you have to go to school,' which was fine because I'm a studious person anyway; I enjoy it.

Josie Loren

I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler. (Judd Nelson)

For my senior year, I'm home schooled. It's working well with the acting. Juggling school with the acting is hard, but you know, what can you do?

Julia Garner

I loved New York. I made enough money and studied acting with Kenneth McMillan, which was my first formal training.

June Squibb

To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.

June Squibb

I love singing, but I feel very naked and very vulnerable when I'm singing sometimes. With acting, I always think that it doesn't matter what you are as long as you're truthful in that moment. But with singing, you always have to hit the note. It's not like you can just go, 'Oh, it doesn't really matter what note you sing!'
