Famous quotes containing the word acting:

    If I were a woman, I would never trust men who say they are feminists. Either they are acting out of guilt, trying to establish credentials, or they think they might be able to pick up more girls. If I were a woman, I would say, go away and have your first period. Then come back and tell me you are a feminist.
    David Thomas (b. 1959)

    I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
    Glenda Jackson (b. 1937)
