Oscar Wilde
“We're actors. We're the opposite of people.”
Tom Stoppard
“I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.”
Jack Nicholson
“Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work.”
Marilyn Monroe
“Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.”
Ninon de Lenclos
