I think artists are really the root of a tree. They can search for truth or reality in their own way, and the gallery can support them - the outside part of the tree, where it is more about reaching the outside world, connecting with the outside world. That is the role of the gallery, no? Why does the artist have to do that?
A. Balasubramaniam
It's so easy to get used to playing a role. Then all of the sudden when you're tossed out of it, it's almost like you have to remember how to act again!
A. J. Cook
The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money.
A. J. Liebling
Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
I am a friend when I need to be a friend, a father when I need to be a father, a musician when music calls. I switch roles accordingly.
A. R. Rahman
When I prepare for a role, I try to get inside the character's head and understand him.
Aamir Khan
If the role is challenging enough, I don't see why I shouldn't play an older man or a father figure. It is not about playing what you are in real life. We are called actors for a reason!
My dad was my role model; he always did the right thing.
Aaron Judge
I love playing odd roles.
Aaron Paul
It's all about trying to be very careful about what your next role or what your next move is gonna be. It's all about trying to have longevity in this business and make smart choices.
I know my role on this team, and I'm expected to prepare and to perform every week and play well. I relish that opportunity - to be somebody the guys can count on week in and week out, to play really well. That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
Aaron Rodgers
The show is '12 Monkeys,' and I'm playing the role that Bruce Willis played in the original film '12 Monkeys.' It is a show about time travel. My character is from a future post-apocalypse, and he has been given a mission to go back in time to essentially set things right and stop the apocalypse. No big deal.
Aaron Stanford
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It's funny now to think about it - that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me... I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.
Aaron Staton
My whole thing, my priority, is my family, my kids, and my wife. That's my future. I don't really care about what role is next.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Whenever I read a script, I start recasting the role that I might play. I'm like, 'God, this should be played by Domhnall Gleeson, not me.'
Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you're good at something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
Aaron Tveit
People lament that there's no roles being written for South Asian or Muslim characters. But their parents don't want their children to go into the entertainment field. You don't get it both ways.
Aasif Mandvi
When you're brown and Indian, you get offered a lot of doctor roles.
I think I would like to see more roles for South Asian performers that are more inclusive and part of the American Diaspora, the American tapestry, perhaps the way that African American and Hispanic roles have developed.
I believe I am strong mentally. My breaking points might be bigger than most players. I think it's because of the way I grew up with my two older brothers. They pushed my limits quite often - once every day, I think! I think that played a big role in my breaking point being bigger than most players. Not all players.
AB de Villiers
I would love to be at a place where a girl character can also be a role model for young boys.
Whenever I am acting, it's everything, you know. If I'm researching a role, I'm completely consumed in that and, between action and cut, I live in this suspended time.
I know that I'll end up being a role model for many, many people out there for all kinds of reasons.
When I was really young, the women's national team wasn't on a grand media stage, so my role models were male basketball and male American football players.
Sometimes there are customers who get in difficulty because of situations that are out of their control. These are customers with genuine needs, and the role of the bank is to accommodate these customers, and there is a real need to reschedule the loans of these customers.
We have been given a role to play. We have been asked to provide, to give lectures on the role of Islamic development and the way we do it here, so the people who are Muslims there would understand what the role of Islam is.
Through Hamas, Iran has been able to buy itself a seat on the table in talking about the Palestinian issue. And, as a result, through Hamas it does play a role in the issue of the Palestinians, as strange as that should sound.
I was always looking for relatability, because I am not someone cut out for larger than life roles.
I want to do different roles and not get stuck in a rut and 'Shanghai' will be one film I'm absolutely looking forward to.
Larger-than-life roles have never excited me. I'd rather play someone real who goes through obstacles and becomes a hero.
That's my only plan: to keep doing good roles and win appreciation.
I think once you get noticed as an actor you get roles irrespective of the characters you portray.
I have always tried to portray each role as differently as possible.
I'm not the type who will go and ask people for roles.
Not many people know that it was Manoj Bajpayee who recommended me for a role in 'Aks.'
I was pleasantly surprised that south directors started creating roles for me after watching 'Rakta Charitra.'
A run-of-the-mill bad guy role does not satisfy me creatively.
Rohit Shetty liked my acting in the movie 'Theeran,' which released in 2017. He believed that I would justify the role of a baddie in 'Sooryavanshi.'
The first eight years in Mumbai were specially tough. I knew during the first two months of my stay that there's no point waiting for hours to meet producers. They won't meet you and definitely won't give you a role.
It's been two years since I am off television, but I am constantly being offered roles for TV projects. People from the TV industry continue to be kind to me.
I choose roles where I do not have to devote a lot of time.
In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.
I am happy with all the films I've done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.
It feels great when you get to contribute in a show or a film in several ways. When you see lesser known actors coming in small roles and leaving an impact, you feel like they are your babies.
I would not want compliments that 'I can do different roles'. I want compliments that whatever I did, I did nicely. That's how I see acting.
Because I have done different kinds of roles, I hope that people take me as an actor they want to experiment with.
The thing with the film industry is if you become popular in one kind of role, you keep getting cast in the same thing.
I never know if I'm the builder or architect. The role shifts all the time. But what I have come to conclude is that the script is the muse.
I never want to play the same character twice. I like to do different roles. I have fun with that.
In Central Virginia, we've seen firsthand how telemedicine is playing a critical role in keeping seniors, families, and veterans connected to their healthcare providers during the COVID-19 crisis. Without this lifeline, thousands of Central Virginians could be left without access to routine appointments and lifesaving care.
