Acting Quotes - page 88

Acting is secondary - I don't feel like it's going to stick around because it's not something I want to do forever. My art has always been my top priority and I have far more experience in that field than I do in film. (Jemima Kirke)

I don't have that drive to be in this field, climbing up, doing bit parts in movies to make a big movie. But I'm lucky I get to also do acting - it's fun. I should probably just take an acting class on the weekends - that would be enough for me.

Jemima Kirke

I know acting is not impersonating, but I'm good with impressions. I can do impressions of people I know, and people I've been, and roles that I've acted before.

Jemima Kirke

I don't have the passion for acting that actors might have.

Jemima Kirke

Yeah, I think the common denominator - and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 - but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.

Jenna Elfman

Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She's amazing.

Jenna Ushkowitz

I wanted to be a vet when I was little, so it never really dawned on me that acting was my career, it sort of chose me more than I chose it.

Jenna Ushkowitz

I still enjoy acting. I love the moment in front of the camera, but it's all the other moments that I don't enjoy. The 'business' aspect of it, the gossip.

Jennie Garth

I fell completely in love with acting. I guess I was bitten.

Jennifer Grant

I don't remember ever not knowing about acting.

Jennifer Grey

When I'm acting I don't sing, and when I'm recording I'm not acting. (Jennifer Hudson)

I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

This is going to sound cheesy, but with acting there are so many tools. When you're on camera, you're using all of it. You're using the voice, you're using your body, you're using wardrobe, all of it, but it's funny, once you take all of those things away, you realize how much you rely on the physicality.

Jennifer Stone

Most of all, I really wanted to become a filmmaker, and I've used every acting experience to just turn it into film school.

Jeremy Davies

I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.

Jerry Doyle

I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because it's not necessarily the easiest of lives.

Jack Davenport

Whenever you're in any acting role you are mortgaging your own character.

Jack Dee

I don't concern myself with thinking ahead to the finished product. I focus more specifically on what the character is experiencing. Once you relieve yourself of the very arbitrary and always punishing pressure of what an audience is expecting you to do, acting becomes a lot more fun and pure.

Jesse Eisenberg

I write all the time because I'm lonely. When you're acting, you're working every day all day. But then you have long amounts of time off.

Jesse Eisenberg

Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think. (Jesse Eisenberg)

If you went to Harvard Medical School, chances are you'll be a doctor at some place. There's a career trajectory. Acting, there's nothing. It's constantly trying to procure jobs - it's very disconcerting.

Jesse Eisenberg

My job when I'm acting in a movie is very limited to playing a role. I'm not evaluating somebody. I'm only evaluating them insofar as they're interacting with me, but I'm not evaluating their skill set and I don't watch the movies, so I'm not aware of the way they're putting things together.

Jesse Eisenberg

In acting class, you're trained to express yourself as much as you can.

Jesse Eisenberg

I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

Jesse Eisenberg
