You never know when you're taking a job, ever... but you try to take good scripts. That's all you can do as an actor - take the best thing available. Even then, it's not [really] in your control. Certainly not in film and TV, because there are so many other elements. You just have to take control of your own performance.

You can't do what you've been asked to do unless you do the best you can. And roughly speaking, the best you can do is to be very available as a character and actor to the people you're acting with. That's equally important, whether the camera's on the other person or on you.

Vanessa Redgrave

Austin Peck

As an actor, the toughest thing is being subject to circumstance. Meaning: What scripts are out there that are available?

There is no single approach that actors take to their craft.

Todd Haynes

Anne Donovan

A British actor will savour every syllable of a Shakespearean line, while a French actor will drive to the end of a sentence or a speech with a propulsive rhythm: the thing you never say to a French actor is, 'Take your time.'

Peter Brook

The best thing for an actor to do is take your attention off of how you feel about it, and put it on striving to obtain a particular objective. The happy result is that it brings out all this unexpected stuff in yourself.

William H. Macy

As an actor, I feel that my work makes me very vulnerable. I have to be emotionally available to serve the scene I'm doing. You never quite know where your emotions will take you.

Jacob Vargas

What's the best type of light? Why that would be available light... and by available light I mean any damn light is available.

W. Eugene Smith

For an actor, style comes last. You first have to implement the whole thing, but your style comes from the subconscious, which is the best part an actor brings to his work.

Jack Nicholson

My whole thing is, you listen to the actor and help them bring out their best thing.

Jonathan Krisel

I take what I see work. I'm a strict believer in the scientific principle of believing nothing, only taking the best evidence available at the present time, interpreting it as best you can, and leaving your mind open to the fact that new evidence will appear tomorrow.
