ACTOR PORTRAITS

 

“It’s much easier, for example, to play a heroin addict and you’re withdrawing – you tear the ceiling off – that’s much easier than it is to come in and say, ‘Hello.’ Or, ‘I love you’. When you judge it in that way, the heavy isn’t as difficult.”

JAMES STEWART

“It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on screen. I think of myself, and feel like I’m quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.”

GENE HACKMAN

“If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.”

TOM HANKS

“You have to just dive over the edge. You haven`t got time to mess about.”

RALPH FIENNES

“Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I’ve played. I’m not. That’s why it’s called ‘acting’.”

LEONARDO DECAPRIO

“Is Hollywood the cruelest city in the world? Well, it can be. New York can be that, too. You can be a Broadway star here one night, and something happens, and out .. nobody knows you on the street. They forget you ever lived. It happens in Hollywood, too.”
