Charlie Hunnam Quotes

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

Acting was a way out at first. A way out of not knowing what to do, a way of focusing ambitions. And the ambition wasn't for fame. The ambition was to do an interesting job.

I love actors. Part of that is my theater background and being a writer who cares about performance. Actors have usually chosen their profession because they have a dream of doing it and they want to express something about the world. That's the same thing that I have with writing. Most of the good actors get into it for those reason, rather than for reasons of fame or fortune, or anything like that, and that's where I'm coming from, as a storyteller.

If I or any other black can deliver at the box office, I'll get a lot of work. Too many young actors, regardless of their color, try to play an attitude on camera and fail to remember their job is to fit into an entertainment.

Art indeed is a term referring to the social source and to the social utility of creative acts.

More than an actor, I am a performer... I'm a great believer - honestly so, shamelessly so, vulgarly so - that cinema is for entertainment. If you want to send messages, there's the postal service.

Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.

Personally, I don't know what I'd do without films.

Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.

There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.

I look at the feature films that come out, and by and large, 85 percent of them are things I wouldn't in a million years sit down and watch. The more interesting storytelling is happening on television by a long shot.

I do films because there is an audience out there. It doesn't matter if they're Indian, American, or European.

There is a drama queen in me, as I love acting, and I used to stand in front of the mirror and act since my childhood.

I feel every film has its own charm and gets made for a purpose.

Films are made for audience's appreciation but films are also made for artistic satisfaction.

'Your Name''s success told me movies still have the power to connect with society. As a medium, it still has a power that resonates.

The collaboration really begins once the rehearsal starts. This is when the actor takes his place, because he becomes the one who is going to bring the words of the author off the page.

I'm never critical or judgmental about whether or not a movie is any good. The way I look at it, if several hundred people got together every day for a year or so - a number of then willing to put on heavy makeup, wear clothes that weren't their own and pretend to be people other than themselves - and their whole purpose for doing all this was to entertain me, then I'm not gonna start worrying about whether or not they did a good job. The effort alone was enough to make me happy.

It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.

I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.

I don't really like actors. Actors are like terrible comedians with no punch lines. It's all about them. They talk about themselves all the time. They bore the sh - t out of you.

The way you survive in the performing arts is by having a sense of your audience, and doing things which entertain and satisfy the audience, but in a more important way, cause the audience to question many things.

Actors are the jockeys of literature. Others supply the horses, the plays, and we simply make them run.

Normally when people ask me what I do I say I'm an actor, and that's what I always wanted to be and that's the way I approach work even when I'm directing it.

There's nothing wrong with being an actor, if that's what a man wants. But there's everything wrong with achieving an exalted status simply because one photographs well and is able to handle dialogue".
