• Dustin Hoffman was the greatest. He had so much information to give and he mesmerized me. He really feels for actors who are just starting out and remembers his early days like they were yesterday. (Amy Weber) [/give/actors/]
• When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice. (Helena Christensen) [film/actors]

• Out of all the actors I have worked with, I love working with Larry Hagman the most. We were very close and it was just a wonderful time. (Barbara Eden) [actors/love/time]
• Spike Lee always keeps a distance with actors. He's not always joking around; a lot of directors joke around to get close to the actor. He has a different style. You never know what he's thinking, and you're kind of nervous. When you're nervous, you're more devoted because you want to be good. (Bai Ling) [actors/joke/literary style/thinking]

• Dan has the wonderful ability to get actors to trust their instincts and to surrender to the organic truth of the moment. This is one of the qualities that make Dan such a fine acting teacher. It also serves to make every show he directs exciting, spontaneous and riveting. He has the unfailing ability to seek and find an actor's hidden strengths and reserves of talent; assets the actor might not even know he or she has. Dan brings out the best in everyone he teaches and directs. We have worked together on a number of occasions, and I look forward to the next time. Dan LaMorte is a man of the theater and a pleasure to work with. He has terrific vision, boundless energy and would be a welcome addition to any theatrical endeavor. (Alan Ruck) [ability/actors/trust/truth]
• From the beginning of the film, I thought that I was somehow in safe, good hands with Tim. I think that all the actors did. (Albert Finney) [film/think/actors]
• You mean actors? There are quite a few. There is an old saying: "Old actors don't retire; their parts just get smaller." (Albert Finney) [actors]
• You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later. (Alec Baldwin) [actors/age/change/depth]
• Actors are treated like suppositories that are inserted into cavities of the movie-going public. (Alec Baldwin) [actors]
• Well, actors get very frustrated with giving control to other people. They have their own ideas and wants for their characters. Warren Beatty once told me that he thought actors ended up directing out of frustration. If you have a strong sense of how to communicate a film, you should direct. The problem is that it is a huge commitment. I'd rather direct a play than a film due to the time. A movie can tie you up for a year or more. (Alec Baldwin) [actors/control/people/]
• There are only two people, out of all the actors that I've worked with, who I can say I'm really close friends with. I have lots of acquaintances, but only two of them are real friends. You're just part of the group he has to shake hands with. It's part of the myth that we're all phoning each other and sharing deep secrets, private things. (Alfred Molina) [people/actors/group]
• So for directors, actors, producers, writers-whoever encompasses the creative elements of a film-you have a hit, everyone's happy, and you're the hottest thing in the world. But if the movie doesn't open, then those realities do come into play. (Andy Garcia) [actors/thing/movie]
• I've had the great fortune to work with many great directors [and] great actors, and I just want to thank them. (Anthony Hopkins) [fortune/actors]
• Several of the actors I've had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as 'ultimate'. I guess the obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews. (Barry Pepper) [actors/fortune/mind]
• Actors were exploited no less by the capitalist managers than they were by the state. (Bela Lugosi) [actors/state]
• The former ruling class kept the community of actors in ignorance by means of various lies. (Bela Lugosi) [class/actors/ignorance]
• You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it's all about them, when in reality it's all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen. (Ben Kingsley) [shame/think/actors/actors]
• I think that most actors, and they're a very strange lot actors, very strange people, but I think that they attempt to keep in touch with the child. (Ben Kingsley) [think/actors/strange/actors]
