A lot of new girls are arriving every day – let them do the glamour roles! I am done with ultra glam outfits and five song routines – hereafter, I want to do meatier roles, now that I’ve acted with all the biggies.
It is but too common, of late, to condemn the acts of our predecessors and to pronounce them unjust, unwise, or unpatriotic from not adverting to the circumstances under which they acted. Thus, to judge is to do great injustice to the wise and patriotic men who preceded us.
Too many of our fellow Americans have to struggle each day against the obstacles imposed by racism, history and original sin. These obstacles are real, and they affect the way police departments have acted toward Black Americans.
I was raised speaking English and Spanish. And I also speak Danish. And I can get by in French and Italian. I’ve acted in Spanish and English, but when something has to do with emotions, sometimes I feel I can get to the heart of the matter better in Spanish.
I acted in a couple friends’s short films and thought I was gonna be really good and mysterious and sexy. And I was just terrible and self-aware.
I have spent a lot of time with foster children over the years – kids for whom I have not necessarily acted as a foster parent.
It’s rare to get a really truly wonderfully written, acted and produced sci-fi show, period.
For all the success, I never acted any differently. I’ve always done the same things and I can honestly say I’ve not changed in the slightest. Sometimes that’s the problem.
I wish I had acted better. I wish I had been the kind of sister who was patient enough to show my brother the proper spelling for ‘Power Rangers.’
I don’t want to do an action movie, because I’ve acted in them, and they’re so boring to do, because they’re so technical. The headache of that is daunting. But, if it were an action movie with really interesting characters, how great would that be?
I was 17 when I first acted on stage. I was a part of an Urdu adaptation of ‘Spartacus’ in the titular role.
I think when judges are in the position of authority, they really get bent out of shape when someone tells them they acted inappropriately.
I have acted in ‘Unfreedom’ and I know that I will be there in ‘Ayodhya.’
I wish we could have acted quicker on Detroit or other failing schools.
From the moment I could express myself, I acted like a stereotypical girl and insisted that I was a girl. I wasn’t just a boy who liked girly things – I knew I was a girl.
I feel there are only well acted or badly acted roles and no such thing as a good actor or actress.
I was certainly a better actor after my five years in Hollywood. I had learned to be natural – never to exaggerate. I found I could act on the stage in just the same way as I had acted in a studio: using my ordinary voice, eliminating gestures, keeping everything extremely simple.
I’ve acted since I was 5 years old, so that’s still something I want to do.
In acting, you have a writer, a director, a character – you’re working through being another person – and the irony I always tell people is when I acted early on as a teenager, it actually kept me out of trouble.
God does not become more divine when we push him away from us in a sheer, impenetrable voluntarism; rather, the truly divine God is the God who has revealed himself as logos and, as logos, has acted and continues to act lovingly on our behalf.
I am fortunate to have acted with a talented film personality like Cheran in two consecutive films.
On ‘Darjeeling,’ I was on set every day and I acted as the second unit director and a producer on that film. I was there throughout the whole process. On ‘Moonrise Kingdom,’ I showed up for one day.
Where having been an actor was extremely helpful to me was in casting. That’s where I think a director who has acted can really shine, and casting is the most important thing you do.
I kinda liked ol’ Shakespeare and them guys, you know. I went back and got my master’s just in case. I thought, if I ever needed it, I’d have the sheepskin to show people no matter how dumb I looked, actually I was about half intelligent. I got the degree to let ’em know I wasn’t as dumb as I acted.
I’ve acted with shorter heroes, and no one has objected.
I think for really good-hearted people, that idea of putting yourself in the shoes of a monster to figure out why they acted that way, that’s a really frightening idea.
I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.
I have acted on some movies that have martial arts elements, but I’m not a professional.
‘The Godfather’ changed the way gangsters acted.
We met Ben Mendelsohn, who had acted with Ryan Gosling in ‘A Place Beyond the Pines,’ and that’s the first place where we’d seen him. And we’re embarrassed to say that we didn’t know that he was a famous Australian actor at the time that we saw it.
Down South, I have predominantly acted in typical candy-floss films, where I have played cheerful college-girl roles with songs and romantic scenes.
Had the United States not acted in Iraq, Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi would likely not have declared his weapons programs, submitted to international inspections and voluntarily dismantled its programs.
We all want to believe that our country’s forces have, at all times and even under extreme pressure, acted with both humanity and honour.
I’ve never acted with my father, but we have always connected through music. He has been a great influence musically. He has always been encouraging about my music and is always happy when I sing.
I had acted opposite Sathyaraj in ‘Uchchi Thanai Mugarndhal.’ It was a role which some actresses refused to do.
Even when I wasn’t playing, I always had a smile on my face because if I acted sad or mad, it wouldn’t help me.
I realized I could affect how people treated me by how I acted.
Inviting children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon builds on reading and talking about the Book of Mormon and bearing testimony spontaneously in the home.
If a company has acted badly, people want to punish it – not in order to deter future misconduct, but simply because they’re outraged. And the more outraged they are, the more punishment they want to inflict.
General Sherman looked upon journalists as a nuisance and a danger at headquarters and in the field, and acted toward them accordingly, then as throughout his great war career.
Whatever I did, I always gravitated toward trying to be funny. If I was with friends, we were joking around. If I wrote for the newspaper, it would be a humor column. If I acted, I wanted to do comedy.
The difference between you and the funny person on TV is that they acted on their ideas.
I would never claim to be an actor as I have never had any training and apart from being in a panto, before ‘Skins’ I had not acted.
I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I’m very lucky.
I started publicly singing when I was eight. Singing was always what I did. I never really acted.
I acted in ‘Kaante’ because Sanjay Gupta insisted me to do it. At that time, I had never thought that I would be acting in films.
Everybody has their own style. If you went to the movies every week and everybody acted the same way Tom Cruise did, boy, wouldn’t that suck?
Does not the very word ‘creative’ mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act – rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life – not death.
I remember watching Barbra Streisand and seeing Jennifer Grey in ‘Dirty Dancing’ – these were people who acted like me and looked like me. Now it’s great that everyone on ‘Glee’ is so unique and people can relate to us and look up to us.
I haven’t acted in 10 years. I always talk about being an actor, and yet I’ve been focusing on making movies for a long time.
I’ve gone to prom multiple times, had fights with the principal, a relationship with my teacher. When people ask if I wish I had gone to high school, I tell them that I’ve acted all of that stuff out, and it just doesn’t seem like fun.
I did quite a lot of the arranging, fitting different sections together, tempo changes, all sorts of things like that. I actually acted as a bridge between Robert and Ian. Not so much composing, rather presenting musical ideas at each rehearsal.
The first time I acted was in high school in Florida, and when I heard that applause I felt so alive and felt that electricity go up my spine.
All of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren’t the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.
Presidents have, of course, acted inappropriately in the past, and our constitutional system has a framework in place for addressing misconduct by the chief executive. But it’s designed to deal with straightforward criminal activity, not national security threats.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
I mean, I’ve acted professionally since I was 16.
At Murry Bergtraum High I wanted to be as different from my father as possible. So I acted out in school, I was very anti-authority.
