Acting wasn't what I wanted to do forever. I wanted a home, and I wanted children.

Acting will always be my first passion, it's what I live to do and I hope to be lucky enough to do it the rest of my life.
‐‐ Devon Werkheiser
Acting-wise, I did a web series. I play a music agent in a series called 'Keeping Up with the Downs.'
‐‐ James Michael Tyler
Acting-wise, I haven't done a lot of comedy, so I would love to work with Jane Lynch. I think she's hilarious.
‐‐ David Sutcliffe
Acting-wise, I'm way more comfortable finding out new things about the actor in me and RJ as a person. There's a lot of new nuggets that I can dip in the sauce.
‐‐ RJ Cyler
Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that's better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court.
‐‐ Dean Cain
Acting with someone else, I can't tell how good they are because if I'm doing my job right, I'm just fully invested in everything that person's saying.
‐‐ Matt McGorry
Action-adventure, that genre, only works for me if you can care about the characters. If the hero's not taking some kind of a journey, then there are no stakes - and no stakes, then you don't care if he lives or dies, wins or loses.

Action alone doesn't work in Germany - you need an emotional element to the story.
‐‐ Til Schweiger
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.

Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
‐‐ Gertrude Stein
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
‐‐ Bruce Barton
Action choreographer is like talking. When you talk, you have a rhythm. When you act, you have a rhythm. When you're moving your body, you have a rhythm. So as an actor, as a choreographer, the objective is trying to blend everything in - into - ultimately back into that character.
‐‐ Donnie Yen
Action comedy, if you can get it right, it is, for me, a particularly brilliant genre. It really is.
‐‐ Jason Statham
Action conquers fear.
‐‐ Peter Nivio Zarlenga
Action cures fear, inaction creates terror.

Action fiction is driven more by what than by who. Put that ticking nuclear suitcase under Manhattan, and it's relatively easy to create suspense. Literary fiction is driven more by who than by what.
‐‐ Barry Eisler
Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible.
‐‐ Steven Seagal
Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.
‐‐ Pierce Brosnan
Action films have a certain illogicalness to them. They're what we call, when we're working, 'exaggerated realism.'
‐‐ Nick Nolte
Action films unfortunately don't let you spend a lot of time sitting. So you don't have much time to create something indelible or unique.
‐‐ Chris Pine
Action gives power. Entire harmony pervades the universe of God. All the heavenly beings are in constant activity; and the Lord Jesus, in His life work, has given an example for every one.
‐‐ Ellen G. White
Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.
‐‐ Jane Addams
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
‐‐ Norman Vincent Peale

‐‐ F. Scott Fitzgerald
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
‐‐ Henri Frederic Amiel
Action is consolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend of flattering illusions.
‐‐ Joseph Conrad
Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile or cry with us, we are not actors.
‐‐ Sonny Chiba
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read.
‐‐ Ross Perot
Action is just one of my skills.
‐‐ Hiroyuki Sanada
Action is my first love. When I first started writing, my favorite movies were 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Aliens', and that sort of thing.
‐‐ David Leslie Johnson
Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
