A Quote by Van Heflin

The hard part of not working is occupying the mind. If an actor doesn't work, he grows stale.

Actor Grows Hard Hard Part Mind Part Stale Work Working

Van Heflin

Thinking can be lateral or "sweaty". For the latter you're better off in an office and following a routine but for the former you have to be "out of your mind", so to speak. So although I recognize the merits of hard work, I find that my work goes stale if I don't go off wandering around the world every few weeks. My friends think I'm a gipsy, but that's when I do "part 1" of my best work.

Joao Magueijo

An actor can grow stale in a bad part. Actors grow stale, generally, because there's no demand on them.

Norman Lloyd

Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it.

Morgan Freeman

I am not the greatest actor in the world, but the reason I keep working is that I work hard and show up every day and be easy to work with.

Scott Eastwood

As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.

Sandra Oh

The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.

Harrison Ford

Once you start working with a particular actor, that actor becomes very present in your mind as your mind as you're writing subsequent episodes.

Dan Futterman

Running water never grows stale.

Bruce Lee

As an actor, it made me realize a really important lesson. I didn't have to put any spin on the ball as Rita [in Dexter]. All I had to do was speak. And there was such simplicity in that as an actor. With Debra, I was trying to put a square peg into a round hole, and it just didn't work, but in my mind, because I had to work so hard on it, I was, like, "Oh, this is acting!" But that's not acting.

Julie Benz

I have not cared for money, and I enjoy working. Money comes my way. People work hard so they get enough money. Or they work hard so they don't have to work hard later in life. But though I don't need money, I still work hard because I like what I am doing.

Manoj Bhargava

It's the most exciting thing to watch God work when I've asked him about something, to listen to him and watch him work. It's like this friendship, and it just grows and grows and grows and grows.

Charles R. Swindoll

I'm a working actor, and I'm really appreciative to be a working actor, but it's another level when you're a working actor with the likes of Sarah Paulson and Angela Bassett.

Adina Porter

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.

Adrianne Palicki

When you're a child actor, part of you grows up really fast and part of you doesn't grow up at all.

David Faustino

My mission is to raise incomes for hard working middle class families. If you work hard and do your part you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead.

Bernie Sanders

Tomorrow is an old deceiver, and his cheat never grows stale.

Samuel Johnson
