As an actor, you only get to work 15 minutes an hour; as a director you're fully immersed. It's incredibly more complex and challenging and I love it. I'm sort of a glutton for work and to direct something that I'm acting in feeds the vein.

Jason Bateman

As an actor, you tend to get excited about scenes that are weighty or meaty because you get to shift gears in a way that's quite interesting.

Emma Corrin

There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.

Jason Alexander

I've always wanted to continue work as an actor in Hollywood. So being in a film with Lady Gaga is something I'm trying to get my head around. It's a fabulous dream honey, don't wake me.

Shangela

As an actor, you always want to do the juicy stuff. But, it's important to get the levels right.

Joanne Froggatt

Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written - then it's completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor.

Richard Schiff

I'm an actor who wants to do great parts, and I've been very fortunate, for a long time, to get meaty roles, and sometimes some of them are meatier than others.

Patrick Wilson

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. And every actor's different. Every actor requires something different. Being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.

Josh Radnor

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

Michael Pitt

The heavy subject matter is the most fun stuff to work with. It's the meaty things, it's the things that you get to get stuck in.

Oliver Stark

I went to acting school, and there were twenty other actors in my class who were exceptional. It's hard for anybody to get work. When I was trying to get jobs, I felt a responsibility to be respectful of the opportunities and take challenging things that could be interesting both for me as an actor and for the audience.

Billy Crudup

For me, as an actor, just to keep acting and to keep being able to work and to do different roles and challenging roles, that's something I'd love to do.
