An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything.
Everybody thinks about Bo Derek as being this extravagant looking lady but she is also a wonderful actress.
I'm such a fan of Shailene Woodley, so I'm super excited to see all her stuff. She's an awesome actress.
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
I thought that I'd never be able to work in films or TV. Another girl would be cutting her nose to be an actress. I was always very sure about myself.
In my work as an actress and an activist, I've spent many years working with low income communities and people of color who don't always have a voice in our political process.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
This war is like an actress who is getting old. It is less and less photogenic and more and more dangerous.
You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and think, Aren't we kind of the same age?
I know plenty of actresses in their early thirties who look amazing, although there's that old saying: 'Ladies get older, men get more distinguished.'
An actress must be a woman whose emotional perceptions are true, and to make them so, she must have a fine contempt for any art or thought that betrays them for something false.
I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.
The thing is, making movies as an actress, you learn so many things. Like when you're making a movie with Quentin Tarantino you're just at the best cinema school ever.
I was 11 when I first said I wanted to become an actress, and everyone looked at me as if I had said I wanted to go to the moon.
I think the reason why I'm an actress is because I got hooked on the feeling of studying for an audition, going to the audition, and then getting that phone call.
I'm always slightly embarrassed to meet other actresses of my vintage. We have so little in common. They're all so dedicated. I find - so desperate.
I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.
I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.
As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.
I have a tendency as an actress in general to ground my characters. Even when doing outlandish characters, that's my instinct.
Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it.
