Acting for screen is very different from acting on stage, and then obviously when you dance... everything is a physical embodiment. But the discipline is the same approach. You have to take both things seriously; nothing well-crafted is by mistake.

Acting for the Indian audience is surely on my bucket list; it may take some time, though.
‐‐ Pierce Brosnan
Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think.
‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
Acting found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.
‐‐ Macaulay Culkin
Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously.
‐‐ Joan Allen
Acting gives me an adrenalin rush I don't get from anything else.
‐‐ Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.
‐‐ Scott Glenn
Acting goes back a little ways for me. I supposed I started with theater growing up. It was mainly a social outlet and it was just kind of something I did for fun. I met a lot of good friends through it, so it really kept me involved.
‐‐ David Lambert
Acting had become something I did and did well - but didn't particularly enjoy.
‐‐ Dennis Christopher
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
‐‐ Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.
‐‐ Keri Russell
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
Acting has always been a passion of mine, so any opportunity that allows me to do that is definitely of interest to me.
‐‐ Nick Jonas
Acting has always been a way for me to express myself, and show all my vulnerabilities and flaws through my characters.
‐‐ Alexia Fast
Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me.
‐‐ Tony Leung Chiu-Wai
Acting has always been my passion.
‐‐ Dascha Polanco
Acting has always been something for me that's been a romp. I just show up and I have a good time, and I hope that I get through the day and I can have lunch in the sun.
‐‐ George Hamilton
Acting has always been something I've wanted to get into. I think the best models are actors; you're taking on a character. In that sense, I have been acting for a long time. It didn't seem like a crazy transition.
‐‐ Liberty Ross
Acting has always been such escapism for me.
‐‐ Kelly Reilly
Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.
‐‐ Jason Bateman
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
‐‐ Felicity Jones
Acting has been gentrified. It's become part of the bourgeoisie. But there was a time when it would be a great scandal if you announced you were going to be an actor.
‐‐ Julian Sands
Acting has been my first passion, and turning a producer was a natural progression.
‐‐ Riteish Deshmukh
Acting has been really good me. You end up in some wild places, and I love adventure.
‐‐ Martin Compston
Acting has been very useful to me.
‐‐ Jane Asher
Acting has changed since the nineteen-forties.
‐‐ Robert Gottlieb
Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.
‐‐ Ryan Reynolds
Acting has made me embrace my childhood. It's become some weird form of therapy. It's like I have a place where I can release all of these emotions. When I was playing Ira Hayes, I didn't have to think about the death of my parents directly. It's just there. I can blend it into Ira's character. I can use Ira's emotions as an outlet.
‐‐ Adam Beach
Acting has never been a thing that me and my dad have talked about. It's like footballers: when they get together, I bet the last thing they talk about is football.
‐‐ Alfie Allen
Acting has never excited me.
‐‐ Malaika Arora Khan
Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It's very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don't have to think about them.
‐‐ Christopher Walken
Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I'm very, very grateful; it's a fun job. It's a luxury.
‐‐ Angelina Jolie
Acting... honestly, I'm so uncomfortable and so awkward that I could never think about setting foot in a theater room or acting class.
‐‐ Sasha Lane
Acting I'll do forever, but I want to produce and stuff as well.
‐‐ Michael B. Jordan
Acting - I'm good at it, but it's not my passion. Music, I'm not as good at, but that's my passion. I think I'm just going to go with the flow, wait until one picks up, and take the opportunities one at the time.
‐‐ Israel Broussard
Acting in a stage play is like working the evening shift in an office.
‐‐ Arthur Smith
Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life, I frequently precipitated what I feared most, the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused.
‐‐ Luke Ford
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
Acting in 'Command & Conquer 3' called for me to interact with the player and to look directly into the camera, which is a big no no when filming for TV or film.
‐‐ Grace Park
Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same.
‐‐ Shelley Duvall
Acting in 'Game of Thrones' is all consuming.
‐‐ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Acting in more science fiction films would be fine by me. I love doing them.
‐‐ Sarah Douglas
Acting in something that I'm directing... I'm really enjoying it because, if for no other reason, that particular acting is like reading my mind on every single take. It's kind of efficient, for better or worse.
‐‐ Jason Bateman
Acting in 'Star Wars' I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.
‐‐ Mark Hamill
Acting in TV as opposed to films is really difficult. What a film gets two months to do, we get eight days to do.
‐‐ Michelle Borth
Acting is a bigger step into modelling in a way. Modelling is easier when you don't look like yourself. When you look like a different person, you feel different. Acting goes deeper into that; you have to move and talk like that character. I love it.
‐‐ Liberty Ross
Acting is a bit of a heart and soul exercise with me. It's kind of all I've got.
‐‐ Ben Mendelsohn
Acting is a bit of a substitute for life.
‐‐ Nick Nolte
Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.
‐‐ Adam Driver
