Acting is just a job at the end of the day, and its a very strange one.

Philip Glenister

Acting is a strange job because your control is very limited.

Romola Garai

Very rarely have I worked with a director where we've been at odds. And by the time you've actually talked to somebody and you have the job, there's something that they see in you that they want you to bring to the character. And the best director says very little to you, acting-wise. They usually just say, "Okay, here's the shot." It's their job to do all that stuff, and your job's to do the acting. So it's very rare that somebody will say, "Oh, no. I conceived this very differently".

Julianne Moore

Acting is a really strange thing. You have to know when you're put in a bad situation, but you also have to be willing to do something very strange.

Alexandra Daddario

Acting is a really strange thing to do; it's very strange.

Parker Posey

Being actors is a strange job. To try to go live that out, it's a very strange thing to want to do when you step back and think about it.

Paul Dano

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

Michael Pitt

Acting in Los Angeles can be very isolating because you either have a job or you don't have a job - and if you don't have a job, it's all about getting out of your house. It sucks to sit around waiting. That's death.

George Newbern

It's strange: I always try to do the best acting job I can do under the imaginary circumstances of my working position at any given time. But it's terrible when you know it's going bad, and you know it immediately. But you just have to still try to do the best job you can.

Dennis Hopper

I loved acting classes, but it was very low key. Never a job job.

Stacy Martin

I try to come to my reporting as a real, whole person, not an automaton. And it's always one of the strange discomforts of the job, that you're in this very intense moment in someone's life - you're engaging with them nonstop - and then suddenly your piece is out and that's done. It always reminds me that the journalist's job isn't to be someone's friend, or their psychologist, or anything other than what we actually are. And at the end of the day, that can definitely seem like such a strange, extractive relationship.

Sarah Stillman

I started acting when I was 13, so acting has been, with great fortune, my job since I could get a job.

Carla Gugino

I'd also take any acting job...well, not any acting job, that's not true. I'd take a cool acting job.

Katie Aselton

My first professional acting job was on 'Boss'. My first acting job was basically my first acting class. I had to show up on set prepared and knowing my lines. Also, I got a chance to work with a living legend, Kelsey Grammar - that gave me hands on experience.

Rotimi

I've always had a strange acting life. I'm the daughter of a director, and a very French, typical director who fell in love with every single one of his actresses. And that's also something that's kind of normal in the acting business, because everything is based on desire, one way or the other.

Lou Doillon

I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.

Gary Coleman
