Why is it that many contemporary male thinkers, especially men of color, repudiate the imperialist legacy of Columbus but affirm dimensions of that legacy by their refusal to repudiate patriarchy?
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.
I absolutely refused to make out with the gorgeous male model.
I made a decision when I was in school that I'd have a lot of male friends.
I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.
I want to tell women in developing countries that they are as powerful as their male counterparts, and they can play an equal role in their respective societies.
To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
I don't consider myself a good actor.
Hey, I think comic actors are the best actors.
I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
I'm a character actor at heart.
Actors always want to be musicians, and musicians want to be actors.
I really love being a character actor.
Actors are con men and con men are actors.
Because actors don't get to pick movies; movies pick the actors.
Directing myself definitely made me a better actor. And, you know, I think actors have the best track record when they turn to directing. Writers, too. I knew how to direct actors because I've been there and I know what I like.
It's not easy being an actor, and having said that, everybody's an actor. Do you know what I mean? Paris Hilton's an actor, which is kind of scary. But if you want to honor your craft and yourself, strive for the nobler instincts.
Every actor I think has got their own number of takes that they like, you know. Some actors like to go all day, you know on the one scene and some actors want to take two takes. I personally like four.
I am a professional actor, and I don't go about moralizing about what the character does. Otherwise, seriously, why be an actor? You're not making some kind of social statement. That's not what actors do.
How you look is part of what acting is, but the way I look at it, every actor is a character actor. Someone once told me at a casting, 'You're a character actor in a leading man's body,' and I can live with that.
