I`ve been a working actor since age eight. It became my craft and career by high school. I did not go to college, but I`m an avid reader in the ongoing process of educating myself. (On why he never went to college)
Anthony Hall
I`m disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It`s become so much about personality.
Skeet Ulrich
I think what`s lacking now is artist development. I think record companies don`t seem to take time to develop acts and let them sort of nurture their craft and find their audience and just develop. There`s so much emphasis on the immediate hit, and the im...
Keith Urban
I`m getting to know myself. I focused this year on nothing but my craft. I`ve dealt with a lot of producers and executives, speaking up for what I need and what I want. I never did that before.
Jamie Luner
I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people.
Robin Williams
Look, I love being famous. I`m not one of those people who feels like, Why won`t they leave me alone? If I care only about the craft of acting, I`d be doing dinner theater in Iowa. But the attention on you gets to a point where it`s beyond invasive - it`s...
Lara Boyle
(1998 quote on his career) In any craft or artistic endeavor you want to do different things. You want to go to different places, you want to find different ways to go about it. You may have your constants, but you`re looking to go into new territories, n...
Denzel Washington
You need to study and work on your craft. If you`re not prepared when that dream audition comes, you are not going to get that opportunity. To me, the definition of success is when opportunity meets preparation. So I really recommend that actors always wo...
Hilary Swank
For me, acting is all about the aesthetic. I just want to keep honing my craft. Not that I`m taking myself too seriously, but every artist should consider himself Picasso. Otherwise, you`re doing yourself an injustice.
Giovanni Ribisi
I never disliked Bond, as some have thought. Creating a character like that does take a certain craft. It`s simply natural to seek other roles.
Sean Connery
My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day-even if someone`s not paying you to do It. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and ...
Giancarlo Esposito
It`s taken me a while to realize it takes a lot to be a good actor, and you have to respect the craft. Every job I do, I realise how little I know.
Romola Garai
If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can`t do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able...
Hayao Miyazaki
Acting is something I love. It`s a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don`t think it`s any greater challenge than teaching 8 year olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that ru...
Hugh Jackman
[On filming the love scene in Shallow Hal (2001)] It was just strictly professional. It was like a doctor or a carpenter plying his trade. I received no pleasure whatsoever . . . I requested 32 takes for the perfection of the craft.
Jack Black
[on Henry Fonda] I have never known an actor with such craft, with such professional seriousness; such a pleasant man, full of humor, so reserved and so keenly quick-witted.
Sergio Leone
(When asked about what advice he would give people interested in the acting field) "The advice that I can give anyone wanting to be in the biz: do all the work, learn your craft. There are no shortcuts. If you stay with it, you will get an opportunity. Wh...
Christopher Judge
[on Gene Hackman] When acting is done well it is an extraordinary craft, and there are some who approach it like a job. It is breathtaking and inspiring to see someone like Gene Hackman, who is absolutely unpretentious and has never gone through the imbec...
Candice Bergen
I try to work with people who are better than me. I for a long time considered myself a journeyman actor where I was learning my skills and honing my craft and waiting for the opportunity for something like this (The Punisher (2004)) to come along. I`m no...
Thomas Jane
I`ve realized that as an actor you have to just keep working really hard and studying your craft. I think I thought maybe things would be easier after the first Academy Award, that I would get better job opportunities, but then you really realize that the...
Hilary Swank
I`m disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It`s become so much about personality.
Spencer Tracy
[on Katharine Hepburn] This dame is terrific -- and expert in her craft and so electrifying on set that if you don`t watch out, you`re likely to wind up as part of the scenery.
Bob Hope
For over half the years of my life, I have had a great passion for two pursuits; to craft and build things made of wood and to arrange and perform different styles of music. Both have provided me with great joy and fulfillment and I am grateful to God for...
Karen Carpenter
Study your craft and know who you are and what`s special about you. Find out what everyone does on a film set, ask questions and listen. Make sure you live life, which means don`t do things where you court celebrity, and give something positive back to ou...
Paul Newman
Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don`t expect me to be serious about my work.
Marilyn Monroe
Magic has always been an element of Witchcraft, but in the Craft its techniques were practiced within a context of community and connection.
