I try to pick the best from what is offered to me, and then with roles, also, I try to add something new. There is a constant conflict to not become repetitive.

Pankaj Tripathi

I just look for interesting supporting-biggish supporting parts, and try to do one a year, and that's my limit. Some women can do it and that's fantastic, but I can't. You make choices as a wife and mother, don't you? You can't have it all. I don't care what it looks like.

Gwyneth Paltrow

As you become acquainted with a character you are creating, you add parts of yourself that are pertinent to that character.

Chuck Jones

What you would call a 'lead,' I've always considered a supporting part, and what people would call 'supporting parts,' I've considered leads. In a way, I look at it in reverse, because supporting parts - when they're done correctly - are the ones that are progenitors for storylines, to move forward.

Adrian Pasdar

Read the script as a fan and try to create this community in your head. That's the thing that a lot of people tend to forget - it's not just about your character. Even if you're a lead, you're still supporting the supporting the entire story.

Chris Zylka

We're very lucky, men, that there are these fabulous parts. Women - once you've done all the parts in Shakespeare, they start running out. So you can pick and choose and find something to energise you.

Ian Mckellen

I say I'm a rebel. I'm continually fighting against [sexism]. I don't take parts because they're for the sexy girl. I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.

Amber Heard

I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.

Amber Heard

I'm not averse to being tied up in silk scarves. I like a man to take charge. There's something very sexy about being submissive.

Eva Longoria

I don't play long parts. They must be short parts, but they've got to be parts that mean something, that matter, where people will notice when I'm on the screen, and people will remember the character after they've seen the film.

Christopher Lee

I always try to pick my parts to be as diverse as I can, and especially when you do 'Game of Thrones' for so many months of the year.

Richard Madden

I can't always pick and choose, but I try very hard to take the roles where they are a bit more human. Sometimes there's a hilarious thing that comes along and it might not be the most interesting character, but I'm just delighted to be able to do something.

Blythe Danner

I try not to focus on taking things away; I try to add in nutrient-rich foods into the things I eat. I don't say, 'I'm going to take out the fat.' I say, 'What can I add in to make my muscles work more? What can I add into this that will give me the vitamins I need?' It feels luxurious!

Damaris Phillips

I've learned, over the years, to go after the parts where I feel I can add something.

Adam Scott

Heart and head are the constituent parts of character; temperament has almost nothing to do with it, and, therefore, character is dependent upon education, and is susceptible of being corrected and improved.

Giacomo Casanova

What is the character trying to say? Why? Be as specific as you can, using sense images that evoke something about the character. Try using the character's senses, even if the character is you.
