The truth is that while men, in our society, are encouraged to have strong egos and to function in competitive, aggressive, intellectualized modes that may indeed cause them pain, for most women the ego is like a fragile African Violet, grown in secret fr...

I don`t have an ego when I get the work. If I`m playing a doctor I want you to see a doctor. I don`t want you to see an Emmet Walsh doctor and that`s I think been the confusion with my career. People know my work, but they don`t know who I am. I`ve always...
M. Emmet Walsh
There`s a big difference between the National Book Awards and the Academy Awards. At the Academy Awards you can feel the greed and envy and ego. Whereas the National Book Awards are in New York.
Steve Martin
The first time I remember women reacting to me was when we were filming Hud (1963) in Texas. Women were literally trying to climb through the transoms at the motel where I stayed. At first, it`s flattering to the ego. At first. Then you realize that they`...
Paul Newman
You don`t necessarily always want to be with someone who works in your business. It takes a certain kind of couple that are both actors to be able to make it, and it takes a certain kind of ego and lack of competition and ability to really sustain a relat...
Elizabeth Perkins
[On one of his most famous characters, Stanley Kowalski from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)] "Kowalski was always right, and never afraid. He never wondered, he never doubted. His ego was very secure. And he had the kind of brutal aggressiveness that I h...
Marlon Brando
[On Hollywood] "To survive there, you need the ambition of a Latin-American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony."
Billie Burke
Despite this discussion of things spiritual - I still think of myself as a very `human` being. I have the full complement of weaknesses, fears, problems, ego, and sensuality. But I think this is why we`re here - to work our way through all this, and, hope...
Jim Henson
I think people always think success in show business gives them the right to be moral political arbiters. I`m not in that camp. I think you can privately do whatever you want, but I`m always suspicious of how much ego is involved. I think the government w...
Joel Schumacher
[on his Total Recall (1990) star and good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger] Arnold has no ego. You can say anything to him. In fact, during his first day on the set [of "Total Recall] he sat me down and told me, "I won`t be offended if you talk to me in a dir...
Paul Verhoeven
[You have to] put your own ego aside and do what`s right for the role. I`ve always been willing to do that. I really don`t care what I look like as long as it fits with the thing I`m working on.
Michael Welch
As long as I get phone calls from the Museum of Modern Art, that all the film buffs love it, that`s a residual. It isn`t a financial residual and it isn`t an artistic residual, but it`s an ego residual.
Cliff Robertson
You`ve got to recognize, there will never be another you. It has nothing to do with ego; it happens to be the truth. There will never be another person the same. There`ll never be another you. There`ll never be another me... And there`ll never be another ...
Mickey Rooney
Some people claim Kermit is my alter-ego. I`m not sure I know what that means. I like to work Kermit because there`s a lot of leeway for ad-libbing, which I don`t have with most other characters but I`m not sure that I`m not Kermit.
Jim Henson
An actor is totally vulnerable. His total personality is exposed to critical judgment - his intellect, his bearing, his diction, his whole appearance. In short, his ego.
Alec Guinness
I`ve been acting for 33 years. I`ve proved I can do it. So any performance now has got to be deeper and better than that, nothing to do with ego, bravura, look-at-me acting. That is an invitation to the audience to assess your ability, and it gets in the ...
Derek Jacobi
The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.
Bruce Lee
With the hugely talented women I`ve worked with or observed, it`s not a question about temperament or ego; it`s a question about getting it right. If they`ve got a reputation for being difficult it`s usually because they just don`t suffer fools.
Glenn Close
