I really can't complain about actresses who get paid to be dumb. Most of us can't get paid to be smart.
Aaron Allston
Viola Davis, she does have a lot of TV acting jobs, and she's also a very, very accomplished stage actress.
Aaron Stanford
I was already in a band, and the teachers called my mum in and said: 'Abbey's so clever, it's a total waste if she follows her dream'. But I never wanted to do a job I didn't love, and I'd always wanted to be a model or an actress or a singer.
Abbey Clancy
I'd always wanted to be an actress or a model or a singer.
I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.
Abbie Cornish
I'd have gone berserk if I hadn't met Sargam Singh, an actress who soon became my wife. Within a year of our marriage our daughter Ameli was born. Sargam gave up her career to look after me and our daughter.
Abhimanyu Singh
Usually when I write a movie, I'm lucky if I get one good actress.
Abi Morgan
There are so many actresses I want to write for. I see them, and I think, 'Why is she not playing that lead? What's happened to that actress?' I think all I can do is to write parts for women, to say, 'Keep going, keep acting, because there are parts for you. There will be those plays.'
I'd love to work with Michelle Williams. I think that she's incredible. She's such a great actress and I love her.
Abigail Breslin
It helps if you don't date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?
Adam Brody
I'm not one of those actresses that asks what's going to happen. I've never been. I just take the scripts, and I see what's given to me, and I go with it that way.
Adina Porter
I don't really understand why we are paid less than the male actors, because we put equal efforts, and recent past has shown that actresses can deliver a hit film. We deserve better pay, equal to what actors get.
Aditi Rao Hydari
I'm really pleased with the way my career is shaping up. How many actresses get a chance to work with legends like Mani Ratnam and Sanjay Leela Bhansali?
For someone, success is to be the highest paid actress. For some, it might be the number of awards, and for some, it is the number of films. Honestly, I feel privileged when a celebrated filmmaker offers me a role so that I can be a part of his vision. That is success for me.
I didn't get that great a launch as an actress, but slowly and steadily, I made my presence felt in the industry.
I'm a working actress.
Adriane Lenox
I studied psychology, history, and religion. I was a heady girl, but frankly, I'm glad I studied those subjects because a lot of that has really helped me as an actress.
Adrienne C. Moore
My dream actress to work with would be Amy Adams.
Adwoa Aboah
Just to be working again as an actress and possibly doing TV would just be great. It's not about how big the role is.
Aileen Quinn
I don't have huge intentions to be some big actress.
Aimee Osbourne
I wanted to be an actress at a very early age and then decided to become an orthodontist after working in Dr. Richard Boyd's office in high school.
I'm a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I'm interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.
I feel there are a very few actresses who can perform really well. I want to be one among them.
I felt that I should become a film actress first, and then come back to serials and earn good remuneration from it.
There are many Bollywood actresses who work in the South and speak Tamil or Malayalam, and though it is correct, we find it funny sometimes.
I always get told by women that they would love a daughter-in-law like me. That's big, because not too many people seem to want their son to marry an actress!
To be perfectly honest with you, having a mother as an actress - who I watched struggle tremendously during my childhood - and to watch fluctuations of ups and downs is difficult. She did mainly television, so I think I associated that with a life of inconsistency. As I've come into my own, I realize it has nothing to do with the medium.
It was a lot of fun being a child actress. It suited me. I don't think it suits everybody, but I was in it because I had a passion, not because my parents wanted me to make money. If other kids want to do it, and they really like acting, go for it.
I wanted to work with Cate Blanchett. She is one of the five greatest movie actresses of her generation.
Obviously, I pay for the fact I was an actress once. But it was a job like any other, because I never did anything scandalous.
I think Milly Shapiro is a genius. She's just a fantastic person and a fantastic actress.
I'm 5'3'', and not often you get to see that in a magazine. I think that what is so cool about 'Sports Illustrated' is it's all different body shapes, all difference sizes. You have actresses, sports figures, musicians, so it's all about skin deep beauty sort of radiating to the outside, and that's what's so special.
Natalie Portman is one of my favorites, and Jodie Foster. Those two are amazing actresses.
I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.
I got a dog. I take him on hikes, and I go to yoga all the time and drink green juice - very cliche actress.
To be an actress and act crazy is really fun for me, to be able to be acting like you'd never be able to act in your real life and scream and freak out. It's an interesting test for an actor.
My ambition is to become one of those actresses that is like a chameleon that you don't recognize.
Actresses are mental on the whole. But I think I'm pretty normal.
As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.
It was a sort of organic thing. I never went, 'I must be an actress.' I thought, 'I think I could do this. I think I could be good at this.' I would just get sort of hungry when I read something I thought I can do well, whether it was in books or in scripts or if I saw a certain movie. It sort of happened quite naturally.
I'm an actress, so I hope I'm good at it.
All through my life, I didn't really consider my eyes at all, and then I became an actress. It's great, I guess. They're just in my face, and one is green and one is blue. It's different, and I'm definitely a proponent of being different in any way you can in life, so I guess if you're born a bit different that's a good thing.
The road's a tough life, but I said 'yes,' because as a kid growing up in Ohio, I never had a chance to see a Tony-winning actress in a role she won the Tony for.
My mother is an actress, and she used to drag me from theater to theater and reading to reading.
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood; it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
People think, 'Wow, you're an actress, so people must be really nice to you and kiss your ass.' NOBODY kisses my ass.
I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.
I started off when I was seven years old doing musicals. I was in 'Les Miserables' and 'The Sound of Music,' and my mum's an actress. My parents divorced when I was young, and when she couldn't find a babysitter, I was in the wings, sleeping.
I love films that make me react emotionally and physically when you walk out of the cinema. Two of my favorite films however have got to be 'The Tree Of Life' and 'The Piano Teacher,' which also stars one of my favourite actresses Isabelle Huppert.
I like not knowing about my favourite actresses and actors. I love seeing Meryl Streep up there and knowing so little about who she is outside of what she's playing on screen.
