I love actors, number one. There's probably nobody that you could name that I don't like, depending on what it is they're in.
I'd love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins, but if that doesn't happen, I'd sneak on to a film set and watch him at work. He is a compelling actor.
I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.
So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.
I've always wanted to be a singer and an actor. I will continue to concentrate on both because I love both.
I'd love to do Broadway some day. Before I started doing television I was just a primarily a stage actor, but I haven't done it in a while.
I actually love going to a lot of theater movies. I just love watching actors work and seeing how people tell stories.
I get paid to lie to people as an actor. Country music is the one area that I don't lie. I tell the truth.
Some of the roles that are challenging are more in theater and TV. In movies, there's a tendency to cast actors in roles that have been successful for them. It has to pay for itself.
Mostly in movies an actor has to come to a mark, an X, and deliver his line - but that's so artificial, that's not how people really behave.
As most actors/actresses, I don't like to watch my own movies, either, and I never look at the dailys while filming.
I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
My husband and I are writers, and I wish I could write faster. There are not a lot of movies made with black actors in mind.
As an actor, I'm always playing solitary characters. But as a director, I'm always making ensemble movies, which focus on lots of people's lives and how they intertwine.
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.
There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.
As a young actor, I found myself in all these movies at once, with two big trilogies and a Cameron Crowe film and working with Ridley Scott a couple of times.
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.
