British - Actress
Born: September 6, 1976

My life is pretty well at peace, and the profession is more of an avocation. It's a calling, if you like, rather than a job. I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would.

Jonas Salk

I enjoy being an actress a lot, because I can feel different women's lives. I have the chance to feel like a geisha one day, and on another day maybe a scientist. That's the interesting part for me. My profession has helped me to grow up.

Zhang Ziyi

I had this little piece of me that always wanted to be an actress, but I would never say it out loud because it was kind of embarrassing because where in San Jose do you become an actress? You don't, really. It was very far-fetched. It was similar to me saying, 'I want to be a princess.'

Anjelah Johnson

People used to always ask, and I would say I wanted to be an actress. When they would ask why, I would say because my mother has so much fun.

Jennifer Ehle

For me, being an actress is not just a profession but a profession of faith.

Isabelle Adjani

I always wanted to be a good actress and a serious actress. I wasn't in the profession to, quote-unquote, meet the stars.

Carol Kane

I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.

Paz Vega

I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.

Halle Berry

I just feel incredibly lucky. I went to drama school and about 28 of us graduated. I graduated from drama school in 2000, and I would say about two of us are working and able to make a living out of it. It is a tough profession. To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.

Basically what you want in any profession - I would say the same thing if I were a lawyer or a doctor - is you want bright undergraduates to look at your profession as something they would be interested in getting into.

Louis Menand

To say she was attractive would be an understatement. Calling her 'attractive' would be like calling the Taj Mahal a marble grave.

Unknown

My main hope for my children would be that whatever profession or calling they choose in life, that they pursue it with passion.

Shakira

Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he will not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say In spite of all! has the calling for politics.

Max Weber

Kevin Muscat scared me. You know, people would say 'I'm going to break your legs' - when he would say it, you genuinely believed him.

Peter Crouch

Once into films, an actress can't say that she would only take on particular kind of roles.

Andrea Jeremiah

I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am.
