"Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee." ~James Cameron

"The biggest mistake in student films is that they are usually cast so badly, with friends and people the directors know. Actually you can cover a lot of bad direction with good acting."
--Brian De Palma

"If you're playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks - in your own mind. " ~Morgan Freeman

"I'm very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour."
~Sir Ben Kingsley

No where in your character homework should there be a set plan of action or reaction.

Desperation is the leading cause of death of an actor's career. Have goals, have a plan, pursue your dream, but never allow yourself to become over attached to the outcome of your efforts.

"You don't have to make, you know, $3 Million dollars a movie, or $20 Million dollars a movie, but if you make a living doing what you love doing, then that's success to me."~Ving Rhames

"You have to believe in yourself, that's the secret. Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world." ~Charlie Chaplin
