The actor is an athlete of the heart.
ANTONIN ARTAUD, The Theatre and Its Double
I believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.
SIR CEDRIC HARDWICKE, A Victorian in Orbit
For an actress to be a success she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
ETHEL BARRYMORE, George Jean Nathan's The Theatre in the Fifties
There are two kinds of actors -- one sits in a dressing room waiting for his call and the other gets out into the business and polishes his craft by absorbing everything. I don't know enough, I'll never learn everything I need to learn. When a guy thinks he's already learned it, he can only go backwards.
CLINT EASTWOOD, Clint Eastwood: Interviews
In Hollywood the man who cleans your pool is an actor. The man who sells you your copy of Variety is an actor. I don't think there's a real person left in the place.
NEIL GAIMAN, Signal to Noise
There are always going to be more actors than anybody can ever use.
EDWARD ALBEE, WNBC TV interview, Jan. 9, 1966
We're actors -- we're the opposite of people.
TOM STOPPARD, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
