I actually cut my sentences a lot. I'm very aware of the actor, giving them too many words - just a mouthful of words - it's difficult sometimes for an actor. So I'm kind of aware of breaking sometimes the line, the sentence with a comma where maybe there wouldn't be a comma there. Just to give a breathing space for the actor, just to be aware of that.

Nilo Cruz

I don't want to be a luvvie actor. It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

Robert Carlyle

Im an actor, full stop. Not an Arab actor. Not an actor of Algerian origin. Just an actor.

Tahar Rahim

I think of myself as a character actor, compared to a straight actor. I know a character actor in England is pretty much the same as in the States; you're actually hired to put on terrible teeth and stuff like that.

Burn Gorman

I'm an actor, full stop. Not an Arab actor. Not an actor of Algerian origin. Just an actor.

Tahar Rahim

To be an actor and a director, I actually felt it helped me tremendously to be in the scenes of The Hollars, because as you can see, they're very intimate, very intense scenes. You don't want to break the actor's character and you don't want to break their momentum, so as the actor, I tried not to call cut as much as I could, and almost make it feel like a play, just set this environment where these amazing actors could do what they wanted to do.

John Krasinski

A lot of times, as an actor, especially a TV or film actor, you don't get a lot of interaction, or you don't get the feeling you are actually touching someone, or someone actually cares about what you do.

Christopher Judge

You grow up loving movies, and your first instinct is you want to be an actor, because those are the people you see in the movies. But when you actually become an actor, you're like, 'Oh, wait, this is actually only a small portion of the storytelling. If I want to really tell a story, I'd want to be a director.'

Emily Meade

You're in a very nice position as an actor when you're portraying a piece of history that actually happened and portraying characters that actually existed. There's so much more to draw on and your research as an actor becomes much easier than if it's some fiction that you're trying to create a world around and background and history.

Jamie Dornan

I know that I am one and I've made a living as an actor and I enjoy being an actor, but when I'm not actually doing it, I forget that I do it.

Wallace Shawn

It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

Robert Carlyle

You can't actually be just a movie actor in Britain, because we don't make that many movies.

David Thewlis

I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.

Tommy Wiseau

I can't actually pinpoint anything that made me want to be an actor - I just did. And then anything after that just fueled it.

Colin Morgan

When I write, I actually hear the characters speak. Almost like an actor - even though I'm not an actor at all - getting into their truth and to justify what they do.
