I'm hoping I can evade a type and go for roles based on what I consider plausible and what I consider good.

Allison Tolman

I have immense respect for Christopher Nolan for taking a character called 'Batman' - taking a comic book - and making people believe in him in a real world context.

Randy Pitchford

I always keep myself open to different roles because I believe by taking up a variety of roles, one's true potential is unearthed.

Thambi Ramaiah

For a long time, way back in the ’30s and ’40s, there were fabulous female roles. Bette Davis and all those people had incredible, great roles. After World War II, something happened where it was not only "get out of the factories," but "get out of the movies." That's when women's roles started to really [change].

Geena Davis

I think when average-size people start taking roles that were meant for dwarfs, that's a little frustrating because there aren't that many roles out there for height-challenged actors.

Verne Troyer

I want to do things that shock people. I think that persona attributes more to the roles that other people may consider me for, rather than the ones I consider for myself.

T.I.

Inequality has risen to the point that it seems to me worthwhile for the U.S. to seriously consider taking the risk of making our economy more rewarding for more of the people.

Janet Yellen

I've always admired Cate Blanchett and the roles she chooses. I think she's got an incredible discipline in a way, with choosing roles that are going to help her grow and bring something interesting to the world.

Gemma Ward

No artiste wants to be boxed. We thrive on challenging roles, and they can come from anywhere. I consider myself blessed to be recognised as a pan-Indian actor. Yes, it means more hard work, prepping more for the roles, but I'm all for it.

Aditi Rao Hydari

In Bombay, people usually tend to cast you in roles that you've played before. Even though they may consider you to be a talented actor, they just think it's 'safer' to have you play the same kind of roles over and over again.

Rasika Dugal

All of us are playing roles, and there's nothing wrong with playing roles because we have to live in this world - the problem is only when we believe in those roles.

Tenzin Palmo

I think women have long been defined by their roles as procreators and wives, and we're expected to serve, take care of, say 'Yes,' and not ruffle any feathers. Women, in particular, are sometimes not allowed to consider who they are outside of the roles that they play.

Carrie Coon

Every time you go to an airport and get on a plane, you are basically taking advantage of the work that was done at Langley. Between World War I and World War II, they did just tremendous amount of fundamental research into basically making airplanes safer, making them more stable.

Margot Lee Shetterly

It took me 10 years to prove myself but now my day has come. People take me seriously, write roles for me and consider me for 'hero' roles, which I deserve.

Sonu Sood

Taking on challenging projects is the way that one grows and extends one's range as a writer, one's technical command, so I consider the time well-spent
