What's with the whole 'child actor' and 'teen actor' thing? You're either an actor or actress, or you're not. I don't get it! I want to be taken seriously as an actor.

Julian Dennison

Being large and muscular, you are not taken very seriously as an actor. When bigger roles come up and the actor needs to be muscular they tend to cast a regular sized actor and get him to hit the weight program as opposed to hiring an actor who's already muscular and developed in that area.

James Preston Rogers

To be an actor is to be ambiguous in every form, which is a very hard way to live. You represent desire: the desire of the director and the desire of the audience, even if it's a subconscious desire. If a director is to work with you for two months, he must be in love with you in some way or another.

Lou Doillon

I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.

Val Kilmer

Most people wish for riches, but few people provide the definite plan and burning desire which pave the road to wealth.

Napoleon Hill

As for poetry 'belonging' in the classroom, it's like the way they taught us sex in those old hygiene classes: not performance but semiotics. If it I had taken Hygiene 71 seriously, I would have become a monk; & if I had taken college English seriously, I would have become an accountant.

Jerome Rothenberg

Soaps are a great springboard for any actor but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be careful.

Michelle Ryan

Being cute and bubbly is also fun, but I needed to be taken seriously as an actor and I think 'Dor' did that.

Ayesha Takia

I'm so sleepy most of the time, but I guess it's 'cause I'm constantly doing things and trying to move forward and set up for the master plan. The master plan is to be, like, little baby Oprah, with my own production company, maybe my own channel, inspire millions.

Tiffany Haddish

What I really plan to do is take the best scripts I get and consider them seriously. I can actually work as an actor and prepare a film as a director.
