In this country, you have movie actors and theatre actors and television actors.
Because actors don't get to pick movies; movies pick the actors.
I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!
The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this - a movie star will say, 'How can I change the script to suit me?' and a movie actor will say. 'How can I change me to suit the script?'
I think there are always actor parts, and then there are movie-star parts, and an actor's always an actor until he does a movie-star part.
What use is there for a biography of myself? I'm just a movie actor.
The shelf life of a movie actor or actress is so short, it's like milk.
You can either be a movie star or an actor. I'm an actor.
Look, I'm not odd. I'm just trying to be an actor; not a movie star, an actor.
