Teaching is not the oldest profession. But it is certainly among the loneliest.

Andy Hargreaves

For me acting is just a profession. As much passion I have for my profession, I always seperate profession from life.

Ashish Vidyarthi

My main goal for taking up acting as a profession was to show that sport or MMA teaches you life skills that can be applied to any profession in the world.

Ritika Singh

Acting isn't a singular profession, it is a collaborate profession.

Edie McClurg

I'm just about the movies; I enjoy the dexterity of actors in action movies and the choreography side of things. You've just got to be a different person to be a professional fighter. I train with professional fighters, so I know what it takes. It's a very difficult profession, probably harder then the acting profession.

Scott Adkins

Acting is such a strange, vague profession, but my kids know it's hard labour.

Stellan Skarsgard

I don't act to prove anything to anyone. I like acting. It is the only profession I know.

Atul Kulkarni

Honestly, as hard a profession as acting is, I think music is even harder. Acting, you're like a leech, because someone else does the hard part for you. They write it for you, then the director tells you what to do. You really just need to know how to pay attention, follow instructions.

Michael Shannon

Whichever profession you are in, the profession becomes a part of your personal life too. So, acting has become a part of me in all synergies.

Sourabh Raj Jain

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

Vivien Leigh

I found that direction is the most enjoyable part in filmmaking. The easiest and most comfortable is acting and the loneliest and toughest is writing.

They don't mind getting punched in the face and, more importantly, they don't mind punching other people in the face. I'm just about the movies; I enjoy the dexterity of actors in action movies and the choreography side of things. You've just got to be a different person to be a professional fighter. I train with professional fighters so I know what it takes. It's a very difficult profession, probably harder then the acting profession.

Scott Adkins

I'm not a big Hollywood star. I'm an actor. I'm called a star. That's not what I am. First of all I'm a human being; my profession is acting. People give you titles. They say you're an up and coming star, then they say you're a star, then they say you're a washed-up star. So I don't get caught up in what I'm called. My job, my profession, is acting.

Denzel Washington

I talk about acting to students making the transition from high school to UCLA. Kids going into this profession really need to know the reality of it.

Loni Anderson

Acting is not the noblest profession in the world, but there are things lower than acting. Not many, mind you - but politicians give you something to look down on from time to time.

Spencer Tracy

When I was trying to get into acting, to have been a model was about as low as you could get in the acting profession. But that wasn't sexism, it was snobbery, which I knew and took very humbly.

Joanna Lumley
