I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.
The actor's popularity is evanescent; applauded today, forgotten tomorrow.
Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.
I'm an actor who appreciates direction.
I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
I like approbation. Any actor who tells you they don't is lying.
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is my favorite movie, and it's why I wanted to be an actor.
I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.
My aunt was so attuned to commercials that she could always identify the voiceover actor.
I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.
My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.
You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.
Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.
Growing up I wanted to be a mixture of Audrey Hepburn and Lucille Ball. Apparently I told my mum when I was eight that I wanted to be an actor.
August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor.
American naturalism is what my indulgent actor side loves: a bit of Tennessee Williams, a bit of Clifford Odets, August Wilson - I would just love to tackle some of that.
Like every Aussie actor, I'd rather be working here; it's just we've all been forced to go to the States. Business-wise, as an actor, it's more lucrative, and there's also a lot more of it there.
Backstage life is terrific training for an actor, seeing shows from the wings.
I'm not going to get better as an actor working on bad stuff.
I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.
