Edward G. Robinson Quotes

Doing films as an actor, you spend maybe 40 percent of the year doing your chosen profession. If you are on a successful TV show, you spend 80 percent of your year doing the thing you love.

In the end, I'm an actor. I'm paid for what I bring to the screen.

The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.

I don't mean to sound - I don't want it to come out funny, but I don't like show business. I love - I love acting in films. I love it.

My parents are in the business - they're actors - so I kind of grew up on a film set, which was a funny place to grow up.

I love being on a movie set.

Making movies is great. It was like love at first sight; a whole new, different business. I can see why actors love it so much.

I have worked in both comedy films and romance.

I didn't have the regular high school experience. My experiences were on sets.

Christie Brinkley told me that I needed to become a movie star because I have that something, and then we actually just became friends on set. She has such a young spirit, and is so vivacious. It was such a fun, fun shoot.

The only time I go on the set is when I have a cameo to do in the picture. I go to the set and I do my little cameo and I meet all the people. It's a great way to spend the day. And then I go back to my own world.

A weird thing about being an actress is that shooting movies doesn't feel like watching movies. It feels like being in a warehouse.

I'd love to make a horror movie, that's definitely where I want to be one day.

I definitely want to do other things outside of acting like producing, directing.

There is so much that I love about all aspects of making a film or a TV show.

I think my dream career would be to own my own production company and be able to write movies and star in them every once in awhile. Kind of like a Judd Apatow type of guy. That would be really fun.

An actor does not have anything to do with the business of screening films.

Before I became an actor, I was a producer and a visual effects supervisor. Our industry wasn't making the kind of films I was interested in.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.

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.

I definitely want to go on acting for as long as I can find employment. I'm never happier than when I'm on a film set. I just want to keep working.

I've learned to do a movie and then not be in that place for a long time.

Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
