I do not welcome advice from actors, they are here to act.

Otto Preminger

Young actors ask me for advice. They say, 'Should I get an agent?' I tell them, 'Don't worry about that. Act, act, act. Get into that production of 'The Three Sisters' in a church basement. Consider every audition a chance to act, even if it's just for three minutes. Just do it whenever and wherever you can.'

Orson Bean

I've got plenty of advice from a number of other actors. Me? I don't give advice.

Kevin Dillon

As a director, you have to know what actors are doing. You're the one telling them what to do. The actors' job is to come prepared to the set, but sometimes, if they're beginning actors or people who are non-actors, you have to teach them how to act.

Eli Roth

I'd love to perform with other actors and act with actors, true actors. I would like to be in a movie and have full room for acting.

Xavier Dolan

Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.

Ansel Elgort

Actors don't generally go asking other actors for advice too much, but I'll take suggestions wherever I can.

Matt Dillon

My advice to young actors is probably to do some theatre; definitely do that. I keep running into these actors who have never been on stage, and it's invaluable for an actor. What you will learn about yourself is huge.

Yul Vazquez

I’ve broken a cardinal rule of art, music, and career paths: actors are supposed to act, and musicians are supposed to music. That’s how it works. You don’t buy fish from a dentist, or ask a plumber for financial advice, so why listen to an actor’s music?

Hugh Jackman

Advice is seldom welcome. Those who need it most, like it least.

Samuel Johnson

Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least.

Lord Chesterfield

Asking for advice is an act of humility.... The act alone says, "I need you." The decision maker and the adviser are pushed into a closer relationship.

Dennis Bakke

I don't offer advice to actors only because I've seen actors become successful through ways that would never even occur to me or that wouldn't work for me.

Holly Hunter

Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.

George Chapman

Everyone always asks me, 'What advice did they give you on set?' but when you work with amazing actors like Anjelica Huston, Winona Ryder and Tom Hanks, the special thing about working with these people is getting to act alongside them. You see the decisions they make and the things they do. You learn from what they do and follow their footsteps.
