I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.
I think the reason I'm an actress is because I love playing kind of a more extreme people.
A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.
I'm always slightly embarrassed to meet other actresses of my vintage. We have so little in common. They're all so dedicated. I find - so desperate.
This is a culture filled with perfect images of women and perfect images of movie actresses, and most people can't live up to them.
I don't think of myself as an actress. I still think I'm fannying around in my mum's front room.
Really skinny actresses make me hungry - I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat!
I'm a huge movie buff, so I'm a fan of a lot of actors and actresses.
I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.
I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.
I met with Hitchcock when I was a very, very young actress just starting out and he was making 'Frenzy' in London and I was sent along to meet with him. He was very, very unimpressed with me and I have to say, I was rather unimpressed with him - but only because I was an arrogant, ignorant young actress.
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
I love actresses who are brave and don't do what's expected of them or don't play off how they look or take risks.
I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.
I know that's why I became an actress. In my dream world, I could get mad and scream and yell, and if somebody died, they got up again. In real life, I didn't dare try it.
Rutger Hauer is a very famous Dutch actor who did quite a lot internationally. Another Dutch actress who is working a lot is called Famke Janssen. There's a few more.
I have watched a number of Megastar Chiranjeevi garu's films after becoming an actress.
I was 21 years and 218 days old when I received the Academy Award for Best Actress. I had just stepped into an imaginary world that I'd seen at a distance for years.
The shelf life of a movie actor or actress is so short, it's like milk.
Jessica Lange is my all-time favorite actress.
I've been on 'Days' since I was 16, and being surrounded by such thin, gorgeous actresses made me so insecure and self-conscious.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I don't think I'm curvaceous. It's simply that most other actresses are really, stupidly tiny.
When I came to America, I told my dad I wanted to be an actress.
I'd love to be an award-winning, commercial successful actress! I would love to push myself to the limits as an actress and experiment with playing really interesting women.
Ariana Grande was on a TV show, and then she started her career singing. If I'm offered a TV show, I'm going to pursue that and then see if I can push my singing. And then if I push my singing, awesome. My biggest goal, though? Be an actress in movies. I would love to have a career like Meryl Streep's someday.
My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.
The second you become an actress, people take the licence to make many assumptions about you. You're in trouble if you interact with a director/actor. You're in even more trouble if you don't. When I started out, a single YouTube comment would make me sad for days, and I'd wonder how people could say such nasty things about me.
I really want to try to become a great actress when I get older and continue to do what I'm doing now.
I'm an actress, model, and singer.
I'm not the kind of actress who asks a lot of questions of my directors unless it's something I really need to know.
Scarlett Johansson. I think people don't really realize how great of an actress that girl is. She's so beautiful and that distracts you from what she can do as an actor.
If I hadn't been a model, I couldn't have become a movie actress.
I loved every minute of working in wardrobe. But I love being an actress so much more. I don't think I was very good in costume, so it's better that I prefer being an actress.
I am looking for strong characters rather than being just a pretty girl. Actresses can do so much more than looking good.
I love playing serious! That's a relief for me. It means something. It sounds dead corny and cheesy, but on a day-to-day basis, you can't just let loose and cry. So as an actress playing those gritty roles, I can play it quite decently.
