There are so many female roles - particularly for young women - that are just somebody's girlfriend or somebody's daughter, or that are accessories to the main story rather than being three-dimensional characters.
I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.
I know I need to be dependent on the Lord. I will try to do what he wants for the Young Women and to be a receptive servant while I'm on his errand.
As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.
John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy, but he was actively involved.
That's what I love most about writers--they're such lousy actors.
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.
As an actor, you get to sort of bounce back and forth in terms of the age range you play and the life experience that your characters have.
I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.
The '80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
I'm much more open to being a supporting actor right now. At the age of 60, I'll be second fiddle. Fine. I'm happy to do it.
My career as an actor started when I was six years old, taking dancing lessons. Then I started getting paid jobs to dance at the age of seven.
The most amazing thing you can ask for as an actor from a director is that you're being seen, that the choices made are informed.
I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don't have to be a wreck to be good.
I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that, no matter where.
I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
I became an actor because it was my clumsy attempt to become myself.
I think that being a producer is business and being an actor is art.
Actors should ACT. Not sell perfume, or write cookbooks.
I would say to an actor new to the business that it's best to go where you are most comfortable as a person, both in and outside of the business.
I did a short film called 'Disco' and won an award for Best Supporting Actor at an indie film festival, and that was nice. Hopefully there's lots more to come.
