There's actors and actresses who I call 'Trailer Stars' because their importance is expressed by how big their trailers are. And then there are real actors, who are real good people.

Udo Kier

The actors I admired were Bogart, Cagney, Cooper, Tracy. Great personalities. Real stars.

Jean-Paul Belmondo

I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower.

Katharine Hepburn

The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.

George Bernard Shaw

There are some actors that are great stars and storytellers, but not necessarily good actors. I'm talking about some - not all - of the people you see in action flms or blockbusters. They're film stars, though not necessarily great actors. And there are those who are great actors, but not necessarily big film stars. Jim Sturgess is both. He's quite obviously a star, the audience likes him, he's a great storyteller and he turned out to be one of the greatest actors I've worked with as well.

Philip Ridley

I just think that models and rock stars, and actors and actresses, all tend to flock to one another.

Bebe Buell

Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.

Chris O'Dowd

The real tough thing is working with actors. I'm a designer and used to working with artists, so there is some familiarity with the personalities that come up, but actors are their own animal.

Rick Heinrichs

I learn a lot with actors that I don't think are good. Every experience shapes you. I've had experiences with actresses - and I say actresses because there's just a woman thing - that have achieved what she's achieved, by means that I can't understand.

Kristen Stewart

When actresses play actresses, or actors play actors, they have to find another level.

Kristen Stewart

I would like to direct good actors, and there are good actors who are stars.

Karthik Subbaraj

There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.

Amanda Peet

Hollywood sold its stars on good looks and personality buildups. We weren't really actresses in a true sense, we were just big names - the products of a good publicity department.

Ann Sothern

Actors are dumb when they get insecure of their co-stars. A lot of actors do. When there is a good actor, they're like, 'Oh, he's eating up the part.' That's stupid.

Ali Fazal

We used to have actresses trying to become stars; now we have stars trying to become actresses.

Laurence Olivier

I don't think Indian actors are good. A couple of them are, like Anupam Kher, but not many are there like him in the industry. There are thousand of actors and actresses in the industry, but you can count on hand how many of them are really good; the rest of them are just pretty faces.
