Kaitlyn Dever Quotes

I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.

I loved playing Chandler. I grew up playing that part.

Sometimes I'm doing a big movie, or sometimes I'm doing a TV show, but as an actor, it's almost the same thing for me. If I'm doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it's a different approach, but it's all acting for me.

To be honest, I am somebody that, as long as I have a character, it doesn't really matter if it's comedy or drama - I think timing is important in either. But for me, it's all about having a character to work on.

I enjoy acting when you really hit it right.

The role of an actor is to make every character believable.

Acting, it's hit or miss. Make them laugh, make them cry; hopefully they have a little entertainment.

I think actors always find the dialogue doesn't quite fit, so you always have to play with it.

Normally, if you play a part, you have the words, and you invent the personality out of your experience, your knowledge - your life, in a way.

As an actor you get categorized by other people, but it's not like I arrange myself into comedy mode or serious mode. If it's good writing you just have to play it true - if it's funny, it's funny. But obviously you don't want it to be amusing if you're playing Hedda Gabler!

Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.

A good part's a good part. You can play serious and funny moments with a well-written role.

Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.

The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.

I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.

I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.

I know from teaching that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

If I have an audition, I go to the audition in character. I'm in character when I walk in the room. I mean, I'm still sweet to everyone, but I'm very much the character.

I got a chance to act, and I have to say that acting is extremely fun and vital.

I love playing different characters and I love doing fun things and I love to entertain people, whether that be in a comedy or a drama. If I get you to laugh or I get you to cry I'm super stoked, as morbid as that might sound.

And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.

When you're doing a play that's fully produced, you have the benefit of rehearsing for four or five weeks, so you really get to live in the skin of the character for much longer than when you first start doing a character on TV.

You really have to take your time; you have to know your character and your scene. The line you are about to say comes from the moment right before. It's not what's said, it's what is in between the spaces, it's what's in between the lines; that is the most important to play.

So I just play the character, I play the lines.

Acting is not about anything romantic, not even fantasy, although you do create fantasy.
