Schauspielkunst / Acting Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schauspielkunst / Acting:

When it's working, what acting is really about is getting into the essence of a moment in a creative, joyous way - through whatever frees you up. Lili Taylor

I didn't get here for my acting... but I love show business.

Ted Turner

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

Omar N. Bradley

My whole background is character acting: weird costumes, fat suits, playing men, playing animals - I've never played anyone with whom there's any overlapping Venn diagram.

Allison Williams

There were time when I was into method acting that I did have moments of residual character emotions, because the method bases your emotional responses as a character on emotional experiences from your real life.

Corin Nemec

Hollywood is fickle; your career can end pretty fast. If the acting jobs dry up, you have to have something to fall back on. In fact, that would be my advice to kids interested in acting - make sure you get an education too.

Matthew Lawrence

'Killer Joe' was originally written in 1991 and first produced in '93 at the Next Theater's Lab - a 40 seat black box theater in Evanston, Illinois - back when I was getting started. I was just 25 and I had been acting for awhile, but it was my first play and the one that really got me noticed, especially by Steppenwolf.

Tracy Letts

I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.

William Shatner

My parents met because my father was an actor friend of one of my mom's brothers, but my mother has never set foot on the stage - she's quite shy. So it's a strange thing because people say, 'Oh, coming from acting parents,' when the idea of acting would literally make my mother just want to throw up.

Kate Winslet

As far long-term aspirations, other than acting, I do want to direct a little bit. I want to get on the production side and eventually start a production company and maybe make some projects of my own.

Jessie Usher

Whether it's music or acting, that creativity all comes from the same source.

Idris Elba

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

Clive Owen

I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.

Jeremy Corbyn

In college, I would just drop out of all my classes, and I would just be left with my acting classes.

Jeremy Luke

It was easy for me to leave acting for school, because I wasn't really in it as an adolescent for fulfilling reasons.

Anna Chlumsky

My role as Ewan McGregor's girlfriend in the film 'Incendiary' ended up on the cutting-room floor, but at least I had two brilliant days of acting with Ewan.

Natalie Dormer

One should not evoke violence by acting fearful.

Theo Van Gogh

What I like is the acting itself. But I'm a lousy celebrity. I'm not interested in selling my private life. I take my private feelings to the work, but I want there to be a difference between me and whoever it is I'm playing.

Tyne Daly

I think when you're acting, you usually don't have to know too much beyond how to pronounce the words you're saying.

Alan Alda

I learned never to listen to acting teachers because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Tim Robbins

A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I'm kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap... I was just in the right place at the right time.

Alexis Bledel

So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.

Patrick Macnee

I've only half-admitted I'm a professional. I know I am, I've paid my dues, but one of the things I could do better when I'm acting is to really be rigorous and to think I know how to do it. To use my brain.

Emily Mortimer

Acting is like free therapy! Trying to make people laugh or cry can be inspiring.

Julianne Hough

As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

When I first started acting in college, at Cal, the thing that I loved about acting was not being onstage but going into rehearsals. The thing, as I look back on it now, that I was most attracted to, was that I felt like I'd found my family. It was just a bunch of loonies.

John Cho

Not for one second do I not, like, pinch myself that I've had a successful acting career for 24 years. I am so grateful. But it's unfortunate that we live in a society that really puts a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way and to age a certain way. I think that sucks.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I honed my passion for acting in theatre and education, and I think it's important not to belittle the child audience.

Rhys Ifans

The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me; it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.

Lenny Kravitz

It was like baptism by fire. There was no school for studying acting. You just have to take it upon yourself to learn from your peers. It's about opening your eyes, listening, and watching.

Michelle Yeoh

So I don't think I'm gonna pull my head into my shell just because a bunch of people start acting like idiots.

Todd Rundgren

Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways.

Jennifer Capriati

There's a lot of things that are good in Scientology, because I wouldn't have been in it. And that's the thing: a lot of people trivialize this thing, like, 'Oh, it's Xenu, and it's a volcano, and it's jumping on couches and acting crazy.' These people are victims. We've been victimized. We believed in something because it starts out very normal.

Leah Remini

Acting is very much like a child making believe. I'm not one to become a character, but I fall in love with the character. It's like having faith; you're going to be that person for a while.

Lusia Strus

Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me.

Amy Smart

I've been acting for years. I always act surprised when Marco Rubio says something stupid.

Ann Coulter

I love political cartoons from the 19th century, and whenever I complete a piece of acting work that I'm particularly proud of, be it a film or play, I treat myself to a picture by caricaturist James Gillray.

Miriam Margolyes
