Pastoral Resources

In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.

Acting manifested as the primary focus over the years but now I am stirring the pot once again with my voice.

In 2003, I had the pleasure of acting in three films.

I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up.

I didn't get here for my acting... but I love show business.

It was a lot of fun being a child actress. It suited me. I don't think it suits everybody, but I was in it because I had a passion, not because my parents wanted me to make money. If other kids want to do it, and they really like acting, go for it.

God is acting on your soul all the time, whether you have spiritual sensations or not.

It is indeed hard for the strong to be just to the weak, but acting justly always has its rewards.

And writing I think is a gift that you have, the same as acting, in a way.

I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.

I'm getting positive feedback for my acting so we'll see if any other interesting parts come up.

It is precisely as though I were possessed by some other spirit when I enter on a new task of acting, as though something within me presses a switch and my own consciousness merges into some other, greater, more vital being.

My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing.

I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul.

I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn't until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain.

I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.

All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.

I love acting, but it's all just a bonus.

I started taking acting classes when I was twelve.

Finally I had a place where I could express my pain and I felt safe because I didn't have to put my name on it. I think acting kept me alive back then.
