“I grew up in Middle America and I don't think my family was very funny, but I watched 'The Princess Bride.' I always wanted to be an actor. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.” ThinkingKnowsPlayWantedAmericaActorsMiddleGrewGrew UpMy FamilyPrincessBridesPrincess BrideMiddle America Author:Missi Pyle
“As a runner on a film, you are the lowest of the low, and yet you have incredible access to everyone. I can totally imagine that for actors in the middle of a Hollywood bubble, all they really want is a sense of normality, and that gopher can be a tap for that.” WantI CanFilmActorsImagineMiddleLowsHollywoodIncrediblesAccessBubblesImagine ThatRunnersLowestNormalityGophers Author:Eddie Redmayne
“I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.” IfsKnowsWorldLittlesReasonCultureActorsClassMiddleThis WorldBuildingScientistPhysicsMiddle ClassPocketsTransitionPhysiciansExploringBuilderUpper Middle Class Author:Matt Smith
“Luckily, I have been offered the chance to play a South American, Hispanic and even a character from the Middle East in films.

“I would hate to be thrust into the middle of a big film and not deliver. There's young actors and they're put into these central roles and they're commanding armies - but they can't quite pull it off. I'd much rather do it in small steps and build it from there.” BigsFilmYoungHateActorsStepsRolesMiddleArmyThrustYoung ActorsSmall Steps Author:Paddy Considine

“To me, achieving tone, achieving consistency, is exactly the job of a director. It is to be the fusing, the nexus of a whole bunch of people contributing to the complex life of a movie. There are actors, there's a cinematographer, there're costume people, set people, there are all these things, and you somehow have to be the person in the middle of it who is making it all synchronize into the same magic bubble.” PeoplePersonsWholeJobsActorsMagicMiddleAchieveDirectorsComplexesBunchToneBubblesConsistencyCostumesContributingCinematographersNexus Author:Edward Norton
