You could say I'm a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles.

Imelda Staunton

I know, I pick up the roles other actresses don’t want [laughs]. When there’s movies where there are two sisters and one’s the uglier sister, there’s always no actress that wants to go for it. I’m like, why not! They’re the best roles!

Rebel Wilson

You could say I'm a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles. Does that make sense?

Imelda Staunton

No doubt an actress has to do varied roles. But I don't want myself to be typecast as an actress who can only do off-beat ventures.

Priyamani

It's bad enough that I'm an actress that wants to be recognized as an actress. Instead, I am known for doing game shows.

Betsy Palmer

I am a known actor who wants to challenge himself in difficult roles. I am not a star but an actor, so I am always looking for strong scripts and strong roles.

Manoj Bajpayee

So I want to make it clear that I want to be an actress and do versatile roles. I am only trying to bring out the actor in me.

Tejaswi Madivada

An actress wants to be seen. An actress wants to be loved. By multitudes of people, not just one lone man.

Joyce Carol Oates

We're in crisis mode as black actresses. It's not only in the sheer number of roles that are offered and that are out there, but the quality of the roles. The quality - and therein lies the problem. We're in deprivation mode because me, Alfre and Phylicia, we're in the same category. Whereas if you take a Caucasian actress, you have the one who are the teens, in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s - they're all different. There are roles for each of them. But you only have two or three categories for black actresses.

Viola Davis

I've seen an increasing willingness to hire Canadians for lead roles that shoot up here. When I started, they would always just fly in L.A. people to do the lead roles.

Brandon Jay McLaren

As an actress, I am happy that people are offering me good roles and I am earning success critically and commercially.

Taapsee Pannu

Ive seen an increasing willingness to hire Canadians for lead roles that shoot up here. When I started, they would always just fly in L.A. people to do the lead roles.

Brandon Jay McLaren

I felt like I wasn't considered for minority or Caucasian male lead roles. There aren't really a lot of roles written for me, and I mean me and who I am in real life.

Vincent Rodriguez III

I don't want to build any image for myself. I don't want people to say, 'He does only a certain type of role.' I don't want only to be the hero of the story. An actor's weakness is the different roles that he can't do. But I am keen to grab only those roles as I am here to challenge myself.
