Acting Quotes - page 81

I've only half-admitted I'm a professional. I know I am, I've paid my dues, but one of the things I could do better when I'm acting is to really be rigorous and to think I know how to do it. To use my brain. (Emily Mortimer)

I want to discover more things about acting.

Emily Mortimer

I decided to give acting a serious, committed try, and soon after, I read the script for 'Lovely and Amazing.' The story was beautiful and honest, and the characters struggled with the same insecurities many women - including me - face. I didn't think I had a chance in hell of being in the film, but I knew I had to go for it.

Emily Mortimer

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

Emily Watson

Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

In acting, you draw so much on your private life.

Emmanuelle Riva

Acting in another language is great, and I've done that. But you can't do it as well as you can do it in your own language.

Emmanuelle Seigner

To me acting and singing are worlds apart.

Emmylou Harris

I generally like grey roles. My interpretation of drama is different from the popular perception. Acting, for me, is not about overplaying, it is about concealing. I like flawed characters that people relate to. I would never do a romcom.

Emraan Hashmi

Sometimes, I feel promoting a film is a more difficult task than acting!

Emraan Hashmi

At school, I was a shy lad and still am. But acting gives me licence to be up there, demanding the focus. It's the one time in my life where I don't have to shout to be heard. (Emun Elliott)

When I first started acting, I had all these ideals about the kinds of roles I wanted to play, but the reality is that when you do television - and I do a lot of television - you get cast for qualities that you have as a person. So I look for qualities that I like to portray.

Erin Gray

Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn't until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.

Ed Asner

Never stand still. Only stand still enough to learn, and once you stop learning in that stance, move off. Always keep yourself engaged, in theater, in whatever job you can get. If you can't get an acting job, then go backstage. Or take tickets. But be around actors because that is where you will primarily learn.

Ed Asner

Stage acting is for me the basic form of acting. If you make films all the time, you have so few possibilities to rehearse. And it's important to rehearse, because it gives you the possibility to try things which are not good!

Erland Josephson

I'm too impatient to wait for things to happen to me. If I should be out of work for two months I would go crazy. So as soon as I'm free, I start writing. While it is necessary for me to write, I know that if I go too long without acting on the stage I don't feel well.

Erland Josephson

Acting has a strong sensual quality that I get such a... you say 'kick' in America? It's a fantastic profession in that way.

Erland Josephson

The trick is not to become somebody else. You become somebody else when you're in front of a camera or when you're on stage. There are some people who carry it all the time. That, to me, is not acting.

Ernest Borgnine

Once I committed to acting, this has been it.

Ernie Hudson

When I finally decided that my only hope was to go to college, I took an acting class, and once I walked onstage, I just knew I was home.

Ernie Hudson

I think acting is definitely the most fulfilling, because it's the most challenging in my mind. (Estella Warren)

Acting is very start and stop.

Estelle Parsons

I was home-schooled. But going to high school, I never would've been able to travel the U.S. or been able to do acting.

Ethan Embry

I don't like, and I've never been very good at, close-up shots. As soon as you have the camera right there in front of you, it feels like you're in a different reality from the person you are acting with; you lose any real connection with them.

Eve Best

There's no great mystery to acting. It's a very simple thing to do but you have to work hard at it. It's about asking questions and using your imagination.

Eddie Marsan
