Actors Quotes
God is the poet, men are only the actors.
Jean Louis Guez de Balzac
I was very introverted. I had glasses and was kind of weird. A lot of actors are pretty weird people.
Jennifer Sky
Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation. All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free.
Barry Levinson
I believe in the time when we shall be able to create works of art in the Theatre without the use of the written play, without the use of actors.
Edward Gordon Craig
The growing drama has outgrown such toys Of simulated stature, face, and speech: It also peradventure may outgrow The simulation of the painted scene, Boards, actors, prompters, gaslight, and costume, And take for a worthier stage the soul itself, Its shifting fancies and celestial lights, With all its grand orchestral silences To keep the pauses of its rhythmic sounds.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The magic of drama is infinitely more powerful than the magic of trickery. It is as available to the conjurer as it is to the actor. The only difference is that actors take it for granted, whereas few conjurers are even aware that it exists.
Milbourne Christopher
You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors.
Owen Wilson
Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience. A decent man plays his part to the best of his ability, regardless of the taste of the gallery.
Nicolas Chamfort
We are the actors and the audience as well, all of us. And the critics. We are also the critics.
Orson Scott Card
You need three things in the theater - the play, the actors and the audience, - and each must give something.
Kenneth Haigh
Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
Jeremy Irons
Compare the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.
John Berger
You need three things in the theater - the play, the actors and the audience, - and each must give something
Kenneth Haigh
When [actors] are talking, they are servants of the dramatist. It is what they can show the audience when they are not talking that reveals the fine actor.
Cedric Hardwicke
