I want to have something that`s different to the way I`ve been portrayed. I admire Angelina Jolie - she acts tough but is still sexy.
Christina Aguilera
The characters that I play are real. They are real so they have as much right to be portrayed as any other characters. There are other characters I have played, other than those ones that have been called stereotypes or whatever. So. (His thoughts on the ...
Robert De Niro
To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I`ve portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I`ve played Devdas. For someone who doesn`t even like love stories, I`ve played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking...

[On playing her part of Claire Spencer in What Lies Beneath (2000)] "I thought about Drew Barrymore in the first Scream (1996/I) - I mean, ultimately that movie was more funny than scary, but the opening sequence was quite terrifying, and she portrayed te...
Michelle Pfeiffer
(discussing whether he hopes "The Wire" will cause reforms of the institutions portrayed in the series) I`ll tell you what, this would be enough for me: The next time the drug czar or Ashcroft or any of these guys stands up and declares, `With a little fi...
David Simon
Sometimes I would get letters from nurses saying how grateful they were that a nurse was finally being portrayed as a person, a caring human being. As far as the audience was concerned, I think it identifies with at least one or two or maybe all of us. We...
Loretta Swit
I`d always wanted to be an actress, and suddenly I knew that learning to control my facial muscles was one of the best assets I could have as a performer. Emotions often must be portrayed from an inner feeling, of course, but I had a double advantage beca...
Jane Greer
By the time you get your name up in lights you have worked so hard and so long, and seen so many names go up and down, that all you can think of is: `How can I keep it here?`
On her husband, Florenz Ziegfeld: Ziegfeld has been portrayed as a man who pu...
Billie Burke
You`d have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story, but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don`t make movies; we do.
Dougray Scott
The way I portrayed the people is accurate. Because they`re human beings and we have a kind of wonderful capacity to be absurd and ridiculous.
Jon Ronson
The original version of the screenplay was much darker, and portrayed the central character as more of an Everyman. It was also set in Manhattan.
Peter Weir
The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.
Dave Thomas
The affection in which Princess Diana is still held is remarkable, but I knew Dodi and, far from being the playboy he was portrayed as, he was a charming, hard-working film producer who had made his own way in life.
Anne Marie
That`s a problem, when a young girl is looking in the mirror she`s seeing a distorted image. That`s because of this narrow definition of beauty that`s portrayed daily, constantly, on television. She is not seeing the beauty and the strength that we may se...
Dominique Dawes
So I sat down with him and portrayed more the side of the character he needed to see. Which is what I do when I go in for an interview for a part I like. As much as you think you`re dealing with creative people, they see you for what your image is out the...
Jennifer Lopez
Practically every movie that shows the pope or even a bishop as a character, and in much of western literature of the last 300 or 400 years, these are portrayed as awful figures.
Michael Novak
It used to bother me being portrayed as this bitchy person, but now I feel that the public understands me better than some writer. There are people who know who I really am, and that`s good enough for me.
Jennifer Lopez
If there`s any place that Bode connects, it`s with kids. The way CBS portrayed him in their press release gave kids this misguided view that this is how they should be acting.
Brad Williams
I`m proud of myself. People who spent time with me afterward said, `You`re such a humble person.` I`m talking about myself now, but in the game you don`t get portrayed as you always are. I want to come away with more than a million dollars with my honor a...
Harry Smith
He has portrayed Hitler in an unwarrantedly favorable light, principally in relation to his attitude towards and responsibility for the treatment of the Jews, ... The charges which I have found substantially true include the charges that Irving has for hi...
Charles Gray
For the past two years, my brother has been portrayed as a bank robber, mentally disturbed, suicidal or worse, ... I can`t believe that (investigators) still have my brother on the hook for this. We know my brother; everybody knows he is not a bank robber...
Brian Wells
Any film I do is not going to change the way black women have been portrayed, or black people have been portrayed, in cinema since the days of D.W. Griffith.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
And with the rape, I was showing why the rape statistics are exaggerated, and saying that date rape was much more complex than the way feminists had portrayed it, as men oppressing women.
Andrew Leipold
`I`m not going to judge a guy based on how he`s portrayed in the media. I`m going to judge this man based on him.` And Randy ... he`s been phenomenal.
