Act Giggle Makes Me Paid Still

Quote Author

Benedict Cumberbatch
English - Actor
Born: July 19, 1976

I act for love. I give it my all. I would probably still do it even if I wasn't paid at all. But in terms of equal pay, I need to be paid the same as the guy who has equal billing with me. Otherwise, I won't do it. Because if you accept less, you're just letting everyone else down and continuing the cycle.

Cara Delevingne

I have a hard time with musicians who act like pricks because it just makes me mad. I just sit there and I go, 'You know what, dude, no matter whether you're in a band just surviving or you're in a bus playing stadiums, one way or another, you're still among the rare breed of people that are actually getting paid to do it.'

Isaac Hanson

If somebody wants to think of me as a movie star, that's fine, that's great. It sort of makes me giggle.

Sissy Spacek

I was a tomboy and any time anyone says something about me being hot, it makes me giggle.

Eva Longoria

I also just get so ecstatic hearing and feeling the noise in general and it still makes me giggle inside playing certain sounds. One of the downsides is that in order to produce certain sounds, I'm totally using my arms the wrong way and sometimes that worries me. But then that physical strain puts me in a different state of mind to bring out different dimensions in the music, I suppose.

Okkyung Lee

Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.

Truman Capote

I do not giggle without purpose. Lady Linette says you should never misapply a giggle.

Gail Carriger

I wanted at one point to act, which is a weird thing for men to want to do. It's a very vain profession. I don't mind women who want to act. That's fine. It's odd that men want to act, in that there's still a degree of vanity associated with it. It's like, "Put on some makeup, make me look good. Okay, now I'm going to roll my shoulder." Part of me still feels like, "Wow, that's weird for a man to do."

Shane Black

My parents would have their friends over - their friends who thought, 'How can you live without a TV?' By the time they left, they understood why, because I had done the second act of 'West Side Story' and the first act of 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' playing all the parts. In many ways, that's what I'm still doing. I'm just getting paid better.

Johnny Galecki

I used to think there was something dirty about being paid for something which is a sacred thing to do. I can't disconnect the act of writing music from the act of prayer. If anyone tries to stop me working, it feels like someone is trying to stop me from taking communion.

John Tavener

I still giggle when someone asks for my address and I say, 'Hollywood, Los Angeles.'

Ashley Jensen

I still giggle when someone asks for my address and I say, Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Ashley Jensen

Almost 70 years have gone by, and I've still got that feeling when I write... Writing, for me, is still it. It has always been the basis of everything I do. I'm a writer who performs, not a performer who writes. I love the act of writing. It's still a thrill for me.

Clive James

I have long observed that the act of writing is viewed, by some, as an elite and otherworldly act, all the more so if a person isn't paid for what she writes.

Joyce Maynard

I'm an actor, paid to act. I don't bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.

Abhishek Bachchan

The things that make me angry still make me angry. George Carlin is 67, and he's still as funny as he's ever been, and he's still angry. And that makes me feel good, because I feel like if I stick around long enough, I'll still be able to work.

Denis Leary
