[Why she liked the pilot script for "Veronica Mars" (2004)] "I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women as being strong and being able to s...
Kristen Bell
[on what he would like to ask former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean] The media tries to portray you as an angry candidate. Doesn`t that piss you off?
Stephen Colbert
They should be very versatile. Versatility is what`s going to give them the longevity. The world is opening up and a lot more stories and a lot more interesting scenes to portray in film. Versatility will help them. They must be able to see the world, lea...
Wesley Snipes
I`m not sure what these people are saying. Is it that if you depicted no graphic violence, the world would calm down and there would be less violence? Or is it that if you sense certain things about violence and then portray those things in a film, does t...
David Lynch
I can`t portray Bing Crosby, I`m Cary Grant. I`m myself in that role. The most difficult thing is to be yourself - especially when you know it`s going to be seen immediately by 300 million people.
Cary Grant
I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic; to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It`s a more subtle kind of challenge.
Steve Coogan
As a director, my goal is to be completely open. Just look at how I portray sex in my films. They`re considered shocking and obscene because I like to carefully examine human sexuality. It has to be realistic. I really like documentaries, therefore, reali...
Paul Verhoeven
I want to do work that is memorable. To portray interesting and different character and avoid boring stereotype. I`m eager to explore almost any genre or character, and I hope I`m lucky enough to play a myriad of smart, sexy, ground-breaking women that le...
Adrienne Wilkinson
[When asked about continuing to portray Horatio Hornblower]: I would love to play this character through every stage of his life. I think it would be unique to have an actor playing him from the very early days as a midshipman; through till he`s an Admira...
Ioan Gruffudd
I feel I`ve always been on the outside and always on the edge of an abyss. The women I portray, and the woman I am, are ordinary but maybe find themselves in extra-ordinary circumstances, and what they do is at great cost.
Susan Sarandon
I don`t want to be someone who`s trying to spin this public image of me. I have had some negative tabloid press, I`m sure you`re aware [I am], but I don`t like to portray myself as somehow a nice, well-rounded person.
Steve Coogan
There are a lot of jobs I`ve turned down because they wanted me to play what I call `Miss Cuchifrito` types. (on her refusal to portray Latin stereotypes)
Elizabeth Pena
I think that all the films I`ve ever made are personal, even James Bond, because it`s so much of myself, so much of who I am as a man and as an actor. You have to invest yourself in every character that you portray.
Pierce Brosnan
That`s something I find is really missing in films that portray love between people in their 60s or 70s. It generally lacks chemistry, like somehow that`s all died away, and that`s just not my experience of people in their 60s and 70s, that that whole par...
Sarah Polley
We didn`t use makeup and wigs to have Peri and Teri look like Sara and Yvonne, but the roles were challenging because they had to portray them in three stages of their lives, from their 20s, 40s to their 60s,
Craig Anderson
We chose the topic to explore our region`s vast and interesting history. We hope to portray the history and traditions of Appalachia through the series.
Johnny Walker
They`re pretty particular about what they show. They certainly edit the scripts and have conversations with the writers about what they are and aren`t willing to portray. But the writers and the network are pretty much on the same page.
James Denton
There is no doubt that this film is autobiographical, but at the same time it also tries to portray an ordinary couple in a language that everyone can understand.
Sophie Marceau
The World Cup tournament overall and, naturally, the new stadiums at its heart, are the ideal platform to portray Germany as a positive and exceptional location, and above all of course, as a highly capable economic location.
Franz Beckenbauer
The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.
David Byrne
The pictures are designed to portray human emotions, good and evil, fine and tawdry; and it is no wonder that their appeal is so universal.
Ivor Novello
The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That`s still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
Catherine Bell
Not to oversimplify it, somebody once said a good rule of thumb in interpreting a character is to find the good in the bad people that you portray and the bad in the good.
Gabriel Byrne
It`s extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I`ve written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they`re friends.
Harvey Pekar
It seems like there`s a lot of people who just do not understand satire. They think it`s weird. There`s people who just don`t understand you portray something or just explore a character, it means you`re condoning it, saying this is the way to live.
Mike Judge
I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese
