“Why is an actor's unintentional giggling called a 'corpse'? It seems to me quite the opposite. It proves that he's very much alive, and can still tell how silly this all is: him dressed up as someone else speaking words written by a third party.” StillsSeemsActorsPartyAliveWrittenProveOppositesThirdsSillyCorpsesDressed UpThird Parties Author:Antony Sher
“So we are headed for a time when there won't be anything but movies that are essentially made like video games, and actors will become obsolete, and then the big stars will be people who live in Brentwood or wherever it is, and they have a show called, I don't know, "Pool Parties of Brentwood" or something like that.” PeopleKnowsMadeShowsBigsActorsGamesStarsPartyVideoPoolObsoletePool Party Author:Billy Bob Thornton

“I think the secret of great acting is that you have to bring your imagination to the party. You have to have a great imagination and you have to bring it every day when you're working. Your imagination and your skills as an actor are what see you through, not what you're wearing or where you are.” ThinkingActorsImaginationPartyActingSecretSkillsWhere You AreGreat Imagination Author:Steven Spielberg
“The days when the words Hollywood actor framed Ronald Reagan like bunny fingers as an ID tag and an implied insult seem far-off and quaint: nearly everybody in politics - candidate, consultant, pundit, and Tea Party crowd extra alike - is an actor now, a shameless ham in a hoked-up reality series that never stops.” RealitySeemsActorsPartyHollywoodSeriesFingersCrowdsTeaExtrasCandidatesInsultTea PartyTagFramedHamBunniesShamelessConsultantsImpliedPunditsQuaint Author:James Wolcott

“I could wish there were a treaty made between the French and the English theatres, in which both parties should make considerableconcessions. The English ought to give up their notorious violations of the unities, and all their massacres, racks, dead bodies, and mangled carcasses, which they so frequently exhibit upon their stage. The French should engage to have more action, and less declamation, and not to cram and to crowd things together to almost a degree of impossibility from a too scrupulous adherence to the unities.” GivingShouldMadeBodyActionTogetherActorsWishPartyActingStageOughtDegreesGiving UpUnityCrowdsTheatreImpossibilityViolationExhibitsTreatiesMassacresRacksNotoriousAdherenceDeclamation Book:Lord Chesterfield's Letters Source: Lord Chesterfield's Letters
“I have this thing. I've always been uncomfortable going to any party where people don't understand why I'm there. One of the best things about partaking in a show like this is, when I show up to events and parties now, they know me. I don't have to hear, 'Oh, you're an actor? Have I seen you in anything?' anymore. I used to have to start listing things off of my resume'. It's really nice not to have to do that anymore.” PeopleKnowsShowsUsedActorsPartyNiceEventsBest ThingsUncomfortableKnow MeReally NiceResumes Author:Jim Parsons
“I made my performance debut in New York City downtown on the Lower East Side in college doing awkward performance art as a go-go dancer at Lady Starlight's Party.

“We were in production on a movie called All the Real Girls, which filmed in the Fall of 2001, and we really discovered who Danny McBride was, as an actor. When I say we, I mean me and a crew and a small audience that would hit the art house. He'd never acted before, and it was a really refreshing, eye-opening experience to watch him unleash, in front of the camera, all this comedic potential that we knew he had, as a human being and as the guy doing keg-stands at the party.” HumansMeanArtRealEyeGuyFallGirlActorsHouseHuman BeingsPartyWatchesAudienceFrontsCamerasProductionsOpeningCrewRefreshingComedicEye OpeningKegsReal Girl Author:David Gordon Green
