More on actor
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I’m just a face or a body to them.
Kate MossKate Moss It’s easy to become very self-critical when you’re an actor. Then you get critiqued by the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you.
Keanu ReevesKeanu Reeves I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.
Denzel WashingtonDenzel Washington Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.
Kate MossKate Moss Actors should stop posting on social media. If we know you it’s harder for us to believe your role. Comedians excluded.
Jake PaulJake Paul Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn’t matter how good you are.
Denzel WashingtonDenzel Washington Actors cannot work against each other. It’s totally impossible.
Morgan FreemanMorgan Freeman That’s your job as the actor, to understand the human part of the character, to make it real.
