"There's nothing greater than saying I'm a professional actor and I will be until the day I die." -Tom Hanks; Inside The Actor's Studio, 1999

"Acting is merely the art of keeping a large group of people from coughing." -Sir Ralph Richardson, May 19, 1946

"We all are preoccupied with our own selves, and our personal struggles become the filter through which we see the world. If you want to relieve some of your own burden, you do so by helping other people relieve theirs." -Ed Solomon, screenwriter

"Shakespeare is awesome. Art is awesome. But what I really got into the business for was to have an action figure with a friggin' lightsaber!"-Sam Witwer, actor

"There are three ways, I suggest... to deal with critics. The first, most sensational, slightly dangerous but highly successful if carried out with sincerity, is to hit them." – Sir Alec Guinness

"The truth is, there are no high-jinks. We're absolutely serious. We're very professional and we never ever make mistakes... How do I turn this fucking thing off?" -Nathan Fillion; "Firefly" behind the scenes
