That's the thing about film acting and television acting. You just release yourself and do what is true for the moment, and ignore everybody and everything and all the technical razzmatazz that goes on.

David Suchet

I am constantly asked, 'What's the difference between acting in the theater and acting in film?' The only answer I can give is the space - you adapt to the space. But acting is acting.

William Hurt

I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.

Sarah Snook

You don't have that interaction with the audience when you're acting for film; you're kind of acting in a vacuum. You're acting for a disinterested grip who just wants to reply to his wife about what time he'll be home for dinner. Everyone else on a film set is also there because they're paid to be there. They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.

Lola Kirke

The difference - the fundamental difference between theater acting and film acting is that film acting is disjunctive.

James Lipton

The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn't putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It's believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.

Haley Joel Osment

For me, the challenge of a period film is that, unlike a contemporary film where the character can be very free-form when it comes to the acting, there's a burden to acting in a period film because you have to stay within the character's historical background and the gestures of certain periods.

Donnie Yen

I think there are certain technical things about acting that change between working in film and television. Everything definitely slows down and we have more time in film.

Thomas McDonell

I think film and television actually is a lot harder. Acting onstage is physically more arduous, but to get to emotional truth within a scene, it's much tougher to do it on film.

Benjamin Bratt

I just enjoy acting, whatever area - theatre, film, television.

Michelle Dockery

Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

John Boyega

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.

John Boyega

I approach every film I do in the same way, whether it's an action film or not an action film. I guess if a certain physicality lends itself to action, but I started acting before I reached puberty. I was 7 years old when I started acting. It wasn't until I became a bouncer in New York.

Vin Diesel

I attend film school, my background is acting and directing. But the acting does best, I like to work on the stage.

Tommy Wiseau

I love acting in the theater,but I'm fascinated with acting on film. If it's a film or a play or whatever, if the writing is good and you really feel passionate about it, you just can't lose. You'll grow from it. Whether it's a success or not is neither here nor there; you're going to grow as an artist from this experience.

Jonathan Groff

Acting in the theatre is fun; acting in film is work.

Alec Baldwin
