I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.

Anthony Quinn

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I've worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I've worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.

Aaron Eckhart

I don't have a great instrument. I don't have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I've worked with enough great actors to know that I'm not one.

Aaron Sorkin

Stage is the place of the playwright: you're guided by great actors and directors, but it's the playwright's word on the page that counts.

Abi Morgan

When you'e working with great actors, your performance also becomes better because you have such great energy in front of you.

Aditi Rao Hydari

It's a thrill to star with such great actors like Kevin Bacon, Kelly Preston, and Garrett Hedlund.

Aisha Tyler

Superstars come and go. I want to make sure I am always a producer's actor. I may be refused to be called a great actor but I have never troubled any of my producers in my life. Honesty always catches the camera, and that is what my strength is.

Akshay Kumar

A really great actor, in a lucky performance, can transform himself or herself. I've seen actors do that. But often it's a mechanical transformation, which isn't as interesting, and you've got to be careful how you go about something like that, I think.

Alan Alda

When I talk about character work, I don't really feel like i do much as an actor when I look at other great actors who win big awards for doing incredible transformations.

Alex O'Loughlin

Scripts and directors make great actors, not the other way around.

Ali Fazal

As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.

Amy Sherman-Palladino

Great actors like Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page and Samuel L. Jackson will go and do a videogame, because they understand that storytelling isn't just necessarily about filmmaking.

Andy Serkis

I suppose it's whether you want to be a famous person, or whether you want to be an actor. You have to decide what your priorities are. Great actor, huge star. Sometimes, the two walk hand in hand. Most of the time, they don't.

Anne-Marie Duff

It's easier to see in someone else, another actor, how they kind of disappear and then this other persona appears. A great actor is a thing of mystery.

Annette Bening

I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.

Anthony Quinn

I think Ryan Gosling is a really great actor who's meticulous about his work. And I'd love to have the guts that Johnny Depp has to actually go outside the box on a character. When he plays a character, he plays it in a way that nobody else would.

Ashton Kutcher

Even great actors have to polish their skills and rejuvenate.

Asrani

I was born in Switzerland. Everyone thinks I'm Swiss, but I'm actually German. I'm from Germany. It's a small country. You don't have as many great actors there, of course.

Baran bo Odar

One guy told me I was a great actor, I just would never be on the cover of a magazine.

Ben Affleck

Dan Aykroyd is a comedy icon and one of my idols of all time, but I also know that he's an incredibly great actor.

Ben Falcone

You can't be a great comedian without having self-awareness about others or your own faults. You need a strong sense of self and view on the world. That's what great actors have, too.

Billy Eichner
