A Quote by Katharine Hepburn

Acting is the perfect idiot's profession. — © Katharine Hepburn
Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.
For me acting is just a profession. As much passion I have for my profession, I always seperate profession from life.
There's a stupid trend in American politics right now with people who have no experience with politics and no grasp of public service as a profession just deciding that they're going to jump into it. The obvious figurehead of this whole "I am an idiot, therefore I can be a politician" is Donald Trump. People think that ignorance of a profession is somehow qualifying for that profession. It's utterly baffling.
I love being an idiot, and acting lets you be an idiot.
Law is an imperfect profession in which success can rarely be achieved without some sacrifice of principle. Thus all practicing lawyers -- and most others in the profession -- will necessarily be imperfect, especially in the eyes of young idealists. There is no perfect justice, just as there is no absolute in ethics. But there is perfect injustice, and we know it when we see it.
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.
Acting isn't a singular profession, it is a collaborate profession.
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.
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.
Who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who gets fooled by the idiot?
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.
I know, I'm an idiot!" Leo moaned. "A brilliant idiot, but still an idiot.
We're so different. You're an intellectual. I'm an idiot." "Don't say that," I yelled. "You're not an idiot, you stupid idiot.
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.
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.
Acting can be a very reactive profession. Acting is a fantastic thing, and it's my life, but writing is also part of me too, so I did it, and in so doing, took responsibility for my own life.
