In the scenes I try to be a giver as much as possible, giving the other actor something to work with. When not in the scenes I will stand in for eye lines to help the other actor with delivery and hopefully performance.

James Preston Rogers

I would love to do a live show with dancers and fashion and scenic elements - definitely bring my love of the theater to a concert-style performance.

Adam Lambert

You need to find the size of performance that's appropriate to the material, appropriate to the shot, or appropriate to the scene.

Jason Alexander

I try to avoid gaining weight as much as possible because it hinders my performance onstage. Touring demands so much energy.

Arnel Pineda

I've always liked horror films, but I have discovered that shooting for scenes in which you play a spirit is not easy.

Madhura Naik

I try to give each performance my own soul, to bring a truth to my character. Hopefully, when I bring that much truth to a character, it resonates with somebody, and it sparks some kind of emotion in them.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell

I try to live under the radar as much as possible.

Arnel Pineda

The fact that I have done films down South didn't boost or hamper my chances here. In fact, I was still shooting for both my Telugu films when I met Ashu sir for 'Mohenjo Daro.' During the audition, he gave me five scenes with lengthy dialogues. Once I cleared them, he gave me a song to dance to. So, my Bollywood entry was no cakewalk.

Pooja Hegde

I like the adrenaline of live performance, whatever that is, appearing in front of an audience of any kind, whether it's one or a hundred or a thousand. It gives you a buzz of adrenaline, its exciting. The thing about that is that you want to make those nerves work for you in terms of an energy that's appropriate for the part and the performance, and not to distract the people who are watching so that they become nervous for you.

Jared Harris

The live performance aspect of shooting a multicamera sitcom is wonderful. You have that instant audience reaction.

Melissa Rauch

I try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible because I want people to be able to watch my films and not be distracted.

Evan Rachel Wood

In the studio, you can redo things. In concert, you only have one shot at it, so you have to try to be as perfect as possible.

Asha Bhosle

I try to offer as much as I can to the director so he has as much to work with as possible to create the character that, really, he wants to create in a sense.

Karen Allen

I think that I burnt myself out a little bit with my dancing because I did so much of it. I was exhausted so thought that I would try a different kind of performance and expression and acting seemed like a close fit; it was similar in some ways to dancing. My mum showed me some really good films and so I became interested in films and acting.

Mia Wasikowska

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual. But in "Iron Man" it was kind of like both worlds colliding because there was a lot of improvisation, not that we improv-ed in the scenes but to discover the actual scenes themselves.
