I'm an actor and I am looking for roles where I can continue to evolve, and things that are challenging. I gravitate to the roles, not necessarily television or film. It's just the fact that, for me, the most interesting roles have been in television.

Octavia Spencer

I love acting and I hope I'm fortunate enough to get good, interesting roles and I hope directors and producers will keep giving me the opportunity to act as I really love doing this.

Sophie Nelisse

I think I'm good with actors. I like directing actors. I also like to show up and just do an acting gig. Where I'm just a hired gun, I don't have to have an opinion on anything.I never got involved in all this stuff because I wanted to control stuff; I got involved in writing and producing because I wasn't getting interesting acting gigs. In a way I'm grateful that I didn't get interesting roles, because it made me pull my finger out and do some work.

Steve Coogan

If you write interesting roles, you get interesting people to play them. If you write roles that are full of nuance and contradiction and have interesting dialog, actors are drawn to that.

Paul Schrader

All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.

Christina Ricci

I'm very much looking forward to my 30-40 years of acting, and, as I get older, I'm really looking forward to some of the roles that are out there to play.

Corbin Bernsen

Unfortunately, there aren't enough interesting acting roles in New Zealand to sustain a career.

Taika Waititi

It's all about respect; he's looking for respect from his buddies. In the last one he just wanted to hang out, to be part of the group, but this time he wants more from his friends. And without giving the story away, he finally gets something that he has been looking for when the mini sloths kidnap him and take him to their tribal area. He gets to be the Fire King and they worship him and there is an amazing scene with a "call and response" sequence in the style of Cab Callow [the legendary American jazz singer and band leader] between him and his audience.

John Leguizamo

With film roles, it just has to be a character either I haven't done before, or a role with somebody really interesting or with an interesting person or group of people.

Robin Williams

I gravitate to the roles, not necessarily television or film. It's just the fact that, for me, the most interesting roles have been in television.

Octavia Spencer

No church that panders to the zeitgeist deserves respect, and very shortly it will not get respect, except from those who find it politically useful, and that is less respect than disguised contempt.

Robert Bork

For me, as an actor, just to keep acting and to keep being able to work and to do different roles and challenging roles, that's something I'd love to do.

Stephen Hunter

I do not want to do the regular heroine roles anymore. I am looking at working with good directors on interesting projects.

Namrata Shirodkar

Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.

U Thant

I just want to keep writing characters who are interesting and complicated people and interesting roles for women, in TV or film or in theater. I think that's like my 'Blues Brothers' mission.
