I enjoy acting now more than I ever have. I've had lots of difficult times when I was younger, but that was all tied up with thwarted ambition. It's hard being a young actor, because you don't realise until later that it's only ever about doing the w...
Young Johnny Sirocco: Oy! Boyo! Young Amsterdam Vallon: Johnny. Young Johnny Sirocco: What you doin', boyo? Young Amsterdam Vallon: There's a battle. The natives against the dead rabbits. Young Johnny Sirocco: Which side are you on? Young Amsterdam V...
Young Allie: Painting. Young Noah: What? Young Allie: You asked me, what I do for me... Young Noah: What now? Young Allie: I love to paint. Young Noah: Really? Young Allie: Mmm-hmm. Most of the time I have all these thoughts bouncin' around in my hea...
[a romantic moment between Noodles and Deborah is interrupted] Young Deborah: Somebody's there! Young Noodles: There ain't nobody. It's Max. Young Deborah: So that's who it was... Young Max: Noodles! Young Deborah: [smiling maliciously] Go on, run. Y...
[Patsy meets Peggy] Young Peggy: What do you want? Young Patsy: Me? Young Peggy: Mama said you were looking for me. Young Patsy: No, the guys told me that... [pause] Young Patsy: What? Young Patsy: I'll come back some other time... [leaves post-haste...
Young Jenny: There's leaches in there. Young Ed Bloom: Did you see that woman? Young Jenny: What did she look like? Young Ed Bloom: Well, she was, uh... Young Jenny: Was she naked? Young Ed Bloom: Yeah, she was. Young Jenny: It's not a woman. It's a ...
Any good actor is a character actor.
I think it's a shame when you come across young actors and musicians who haven't had the time to learn their craft. It doesn't matter if it's acting or music; you really have to learn how to do it from the bottom up because unless you have a great wo...
As I grew older, I worked less as an actor and as a model, and I went back to what I had tried to do when I was young but wasn't really available. I'm so glad now to be in my sixties and to be able to go back to school.
If I had even the tiniest scrap of advice to give to a young actor who was figuring out how to audition, I would say don't memorize the script... The reality about auditions is that 98 percent of the results has to do with what you are, not with what...
A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! L...
Young men and young women, full of courage, originality, and genius, are everywhere to be met with.
I'm an actor, full stop. Not an Arab actor. Not an actor of Algerian origin. Just an actor.
In this country, you have movie actors and theatre actors and television actors.
Only be an actor if you can't be happy doing anything else. I don't think you should be an actor if you want to be actor. I think you should be an actor if you have to be an actor.
Young Noah: I'm not usually like this, I'm sorry. Young Allie: Oh yes you are. Young Noah: I could be fun, if you want. I could be pensive, uhh... smart, supersticious, brave? And I, uhh, I can be light on my feet. I could be whatever you want. You j...
The graveyards are full of young lawyers, lost inheritance and young doctors.
I would like to be able to be both a film actor and a stage actor - to be an American actor in the style of a lot the English actors who do films. They are these wonderful actors who can do everything.
A young man idle, an old man needy.
Young Noah: We can just finish out the summer and see what happens then. Young Allie: Please don't do this, you don't mean it. Oh why wait until the summer ends? Why don't you do it right now? [pushes Noah against car] Young Allie: Huh? C'mon. Do it!...
When I was a young actor in Vienna, already my hair was falling out at a rapid rate. I went to a doctor, who said hair was like grass: if you mow it, then it grows back stronger. So I went to Brittany, where nobody knew me, and I shaved my head. When...
