I definitely consider myself a Method actor, because of my training. I might dispute what people consider a Method actor to be. For my money, a Method actor is an actor who has a technique. That has a method. And not one method, but whatever might be required. So a Method actor is always learning.

Melissa Leo

I consider myself a method singer, not a method actor. I applied method acting to singing.

Tony Bennett

I became an actor, and because I had success as an actor, I became famous. I was acting for quite a while before I got famous; television made me famous. I guess that it's television that is responsible for everybody's desire to be famous.

Kelsey Grammer

Acting became important. It became an art that belonged to the actor, not to the director or producer, or the man whose money had bought the studio. It was an art that transformed you into somebody else, that increased your life and mind. I had always loved acting and tried hard to learn it. But with Michael Chekhov, acting became more than a profession to me. It became a sort of religion.

Marilyn Monroe

No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. So my method is to read the script. Some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. Me, I believe strictly in acting. If I am out of breath, I'm out of breath. I ain't running nowhere.

Morgan Freeman

I've always done method acting. I'm a method actor, and I've done that for years. I never did acting and decided to take it seriously because all the parts people want me to do were playing the pretty role. If I want to play someone pretty, I'll play myself.

Jessica White

Most American actors are taught the Stanislavsky method... Method acting, but I really think that as an actor you have to develop what works for you. There is really not one way of doing anything. There are many ways of achieving the same goal.

Ving Rhames

I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.

I can't do method acting. I feel there is a different energy that comes when an actor is spontaneous.

Aishwarya Lekshmi

Method acting is a label I don't really understand, because there's a method to everybody's acting.

Dougray Scott

One of the fun things for me, about acting, is trying to transform. Transformational acting was the reason why I became an actor, in the first place.

Matt Ross

I am a method actor, but I'm also a film actor as well as a method actor. Characters that don't have humility, whether they are heroes or villains, are hard to relate to. All characters in every aspect of what we do should have humility. If they don't, then they're a cartoon character.

Vincent D'Onofrio

I never wanted to be an actor. Till my third film, I didn't imagine that I would continue acting. I didn't like it at all. It was only after three films that I became comfortable with acting.

Konkona Sen Sharma

Acting takes inspiration from all the allied fields - be it diction, dancing, reading, narrating, I try to imbibe all those things to perfect my acting skills.

I became an actor to escape my own personality. Acting is the most therapeutic thing in the world. You see, through acting you come full circle in your personality and, oh, what a grand time you can have along the way being wonderful people through your characters...I think all the courage that I may lack personally I have as an actor.
