A Quote by Sylvester Stallone

I tried to play sports, which was a disaster and probably one of the reasons I ended up being an actress.

Haley Bennett

I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies, which I would love to do, but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do, play the kind of characters that I play.

Carrie-Anne Moss

I'm stunned that people keep asking me to play characters I didn't expect to play.

Mark Williams

I was fortunate enough to work at the peak of the great golden age of musicals. And then for awhile, I think they were being advanced in different ways. Andrew Lloyd-Webber brought the rock beat to musicals; people tried different things. The joy of musicals is that there is no perfect recipe; it is what you throw into it.

Julie Andrews

I've always tried to have a healthy take on the characters I play; they are only characters I play.

Steve Buscemi

It depresses me when people expect me to be like the characters I play on film. I'm not some whiny loser punk, I'm a man's man.

Zach Braff

I tried to play bass in a punk band once, and it was an absolute disaster. I can’t play anything. I don’t know what it is.

Nate Ruess

My grandmother introduced me to musicals and Fred Astaire and Cary Grant and all the American comedies and classics.

Celine Sciamma

I didn't like how my NBA career ended because I wanted to go out on my own terms. But nobody tried to believe in me, that I could go back and play. I can still play at 39.

Tim Hardaway

It's something that people relate to - and I hope my kid doesn't relate to - but there's a level of believability in playing complex characters. You know, Christopher Walken has done some hilarious comedies, De Niro. There's great room for complexity and darkness to do well in comedies.

Jeremy Sisto

It's almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - I'm a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.

David Levithan

Its almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - Im a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.

David Levithan

I think that I am misunderstood because people perceive me to be a certain way because I am generational. They expect me to be entitled and expect me to have things early on. I think people misconstrued that honestly.

Tessa Blanchard

I have a certain manner of speech that is unique to me. I tried once to have my staff tweet for me, and it was a disaster! People knew right away that it wasn't me.

Iman

There are no large-scale original musicals being made right now. They're all Broadway adaptations and jukebox musicals or catalog musicals, and they just don't interest me as much.

Damien Chazelle

I always find it actually funny that the analysis is that the characters I play in comedies are the manchild, the adolescent, characters that refuse to grow up. And yet, if you look back in the history of comedy all the way back to the Marx brothers, that's a big part of comedy.

Will Ferrell
