Chris Massoglia Quotes

Take a person like Julia Roberts: she does what she wants.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.

I have the most fun writing and directing. And I always choose myself as the lead actor.

Be very clear as to what your dream is. Nowadays it is fairly certain that 90 percent of all actors really just want to be rich and famous as the solution to all that ails.

I feel one should do things which pleases them, and my progression into super model then to an actress and now to an entrepreneur is based on this.

There is work, and there is pleasure; acting is pleasure.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.

I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

I only make movies that are interesting to me.

I want to play some really good, interesting, crazy characters. I want to take some chances. I want to take risks. I want to have fun and just keep working. That's all I really care about.

I'm someone who loves to play. I make films so I can have fun with the characters.

I think many actresses want to be famous and want to be the prettiest, and that wasn't my trek. I was thinking, 'I gotta get out of here... how do I get out of here?' I like acting, but I like directing more.

I'm acting for the pleasure of it.

With fame, I'm able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.

Fame is part of me and my life as an actor. I enjoy the creative aspects of my life as an actor. I enjoy directing and acting as well. But the bottom line for me is not prestige and power. It's about having an exciting, creative life.

I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.

I will always be an actress. I couldn't see myself without acting. But I'd love to direct and keep writing. I don't think one has to be in place of the other.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup, their clothes, music, live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously.

I care so much about making things that are useful for people to have and listen to, but I don't care so much that I won't do whatever the hell I want. It's just one of those things.

I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.

I'm just gonna be doing stuff that I really enjoy doing. I'm not gonna attempt to be current in any way other than the fact that people will like what I'm doing currently.

Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

I've lived my life the way I wanted to, whether scaling the mountains, partying long into the night or having fun playing soccer.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.
