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. (Ward Fred)
Actors are treated like suppositories that are inserted into cavities of the movie-going public. (Ward Fred)
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. (Ward Fred)
What an old actor will do for money. (Ward Fred)
The worst thing that an actor can do is go into any project with a lack of respect for the material. You can have an opinion about it, but you have to respect yourself in doing it. (Ward Fred)
When I became an actor my dream was ... to come here to Hollywood. You know Hollywood is a state of mind ... it's synonymous with a dream factory. (Ward Fred)
I've had the great fortune to work with many great directors [and] great actors, and I just want to thank them. (Ward Fred)
Oh yeah, he's a good kid. But what's scary is that if you look at my senior picture and his, we look exactly the same. People talk about Demi Moore being too old, but he's gonna end up looking bad, like me, so he's locking that down while he can. (Ward Fred)
[Moore, who starred in 2003's] Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, ... not through Sean Combs, as everyone said, but through a mutual friend, Sara Foster, an actress who's known Ashton from the day he arrived in Los Angeles. (Ward Fred)
As an actor, that's the best thing you can do, really take people along on a story and tell them something. (Ward Fred)
Soap Actors are fun and interesting. They all have something special that you want to be around. (Ward Fred)
A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage. (Ward Fred)
Actors were exploited no less by the capitalist managers than they were by the state. (Ward Fred)
Every actor is somewhat mad, or else he'd be a plumber or a bookkeeper or a salesman. (Ward Fred)
Every actor's greatest ambition is to create his own, definite and original role-but I found this to be almost fataal. (Ward Fred)
Every producer in Hollywood had set me down as a type. I was both amused and disappointed. (Ward Fred)
For the screen, a great deal of repression was an absolute necessity. (Ward Fred)
Love the actor, for he gives you his heart! (Ward Fred)
The actor depends wholly on himself. He gives his performance in what, to him, seems the most effective manner. (Ward Fred)
The actor was obliged either to bend himself to stultifying odd jobs to keep his body and soul together or he had to sponge off friends, get into debt, or prostitute his art. (Ward Fred)
The actor who goes to Budapest should not feel it a degradation if he has to work in the provinces. (Ward Fred)
