“The goal with me, and the way I challenge myself as an actor, is to go from genre to genre. I like that. A lot of actors always challenge themselves. But for me the challenge lies not only in getting better, but going from drama to comedy to action or whatever the case may be, and having a wide array of movies in terms of my filmography.” WayMayActionLyingActorsGoalTermChallengesCasesComedyDramaWideGenreGet Better Author:Dwayne Johnson
“As a woman, she [Penelope Cruz] obviously has changed as she has become an adult. But, as an actress, I actually might say that she has not changed that much. And she has something great, especially in comedy, and she hasn't been exploited as much as she could be in comedy, but particularly in that mix between comedy and drama. She's got a very special quality about her. You can place her in very extreme situations, especially very painful situations, in terms of how her character interprets it. And sometimes, the deeper and more human that pain is, the better she is at it.” HumansSometimesCharacterPainTermQualitySituationComedySpecialChangedDramaAdultsPainfulDeeperExtremesActressesCruzPainful Situations Author:Pedro Almodovar
“I think the biggest faults that bands tend to have in terms of drama or breaking up is bands don't learn people's personalities. When you spend as much time with people obviously it's going to rub off, and you are going to get to know the way people are. You can make sure day to day people are accommodated to and people feel positive about the experience, then you can stay together as a band, at least that is my opinion.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayFeelsTogetherTermOpinionPersonalityDramaBandFaultsDay To Day Author:Andy Biersack

“McLeod's Daughters was my first regular job out of drama school, and my first full-time role. That was great because I learned a lot, in terms of working in front of the camera.

It was a bit of a training ground for me, working in front of the camera and also dealing with media.” KnowsWayFirstsSchoolJobsBitsTermRolesMediaFrontsDramaTrainingDaughterAspectCamerasGranted Author:Dustin Clare

“I love musicals but it's very, very different. It's really just a different form than serious drama, and has very different rules and a completely different set of characters and requirements and ambitions. It maybe shouldn't be as separate as it is, but it's got a different history. In terms of serious drama, I think you'd have to say that you could break it down essentially into the narrative realist tradition and experimental theater.” ThinkingDifferentCharacterFormTermBreakSeriousDramaAmbitionTraditionTheaterNarrativeRequirementsRealistI Love Music Author:Tony Kushner

“I actually find in America, there's a slight snobbery about actors who go back and forth between big heavy dramas and popcorn fare. That always intrigues me, because that doesn't exist in the same way in Britain. And I imagine it would be worse. In terms of the sort of class, and the sort of snobby, slightly on the back-foot thing Britain has. But it's much more prevalent in America. I'm really intrigued by it. I don't know why that is.

It's a show, it's a predetermined outcome; we're putting on a television drama, action, comedy, whatever you want to call it - but it's not fake. Fake would be if I was just about to take a body slam, and my stuntman did it. Fake would be if I was going to take a chair shot to the head, and the chair was made of rubber. I'll tell the world that it's a show, but I hate the word fake.
