Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?

William Arthur Ward

You don't pay an actor to act. An actor will do that for free because we love to act. You pay an actor to wait.

John Candy

I love my job but it takes a lot for me to leave my kids, leave my husband and leave my dogs.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

I don't act because I love doing it, I act because it's my job. At the end of the year, I gotta pay my taxes, bills, doctors, insurance, car insurance, the occasional vacation. It's a wonderful job. The upside is that it is exciting and different... the downside is that it is an extremely insecure job.

Clint Howard

Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.

Sylvester McCoy

I love being an actor and a job is a job, and I'm always happy to have a job.

As an actor, technically, when you are off a film, you are out of a job. An actor goes from job to job. By virtue, acting is an unsure profession.

Aditya Roy Kapur

Be content to act, and leave the talking to others.

Baltasar Gracian

If you're working in close-ups, then an actor is only able to act with his head. I like an actor to act with their entire body.

Sam Levinson

I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you the challenge of developing confidence in one another. I leave you respect for the use of power. I leave you faith. I leave you racial dignity.

Mary McLeod Bethune

Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

Dave Barry

The transition from TV to films wasn't overwhelming, since an actor's ultimate job is to act.

Barun Sobti

I do love my work. As an actor, you live from job to job, though, and you have to be prepared for that.

Julianne Moore

Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is a commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause--the cause of liberation.
