“I am the same old actor. When people question me I really look back and think but I feel people love characters like Rahul or Raj because they are different. Every role is different and I am not reinventing myself as an actor.”

Shahrukh Khan (1965) Indian actor, producer and television personality

From interview with Amrita Mulchandani

“I think, as an actor, you create things for your character that you think will make it more personal to you, because on the day, you want to make sure that you're truly there in the moment.”

Kelly Marie Tran (1989) American actress

As quoted in "Q&A: 'The Last Jedi' breakout Kelly Marie Tran on her whirlwind 'Star Wars' journey and Rose's future" in Baltimore Sun (20 December 2017) https://www.baltimoresun.com/la-et-mn-star-wars-the-last-jedi-rose-kelly-marie-tran-20171220-htmlstory.html

“As a person, I intellectualize plenty before and after, right? But really, as an actor during, I don't need to apply that same intellectual process because, first of all, when you play a character for this long, you just kind of know... It's very intuitive.”

“I think for me anyway, the most successful horror movies that work are the ones that can create characters who you care about and that have characteristics that resonate with you and I think that is highly important, because if you can create characters that are likeable and people you can relate to, to me it makes the scares that much more scarier.”

James Wan (1977) Malaysian-born Australian film director, screenwriter and producer

“Yes, I can play younger than my age. But I can play characters older than I am, too. I`m not an actor who can just play the kid.”

Leonardo DiCaprio (1974) American actor and film producer

“Yeah, I am a character actor.”

Jim Gaffigan (1966) comedian, actor, author

Doug Elfman (November 19, 2006) "Oh, 'Boys': New show centers on a female sportswriter who likes guys and likes to drink. Just don't call her 'hot.'", Chicago Sun-Times, p. D11.

“Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I play. That's why it's called acting.”

Leonardo DiCaprio (1974) American actor and film producer

“"Film star," "movie star" — whatever they want to try to call you is limiting, in the sense that I think an actor has to be able to play characters. To separate these things — you know: "leading man," "action hero," "character actor," stuff like that — I guess if I want to be close to anything, it would be a character actor, which is what I think an actor should be. So any of that "movie star" stuff, I just don't buy it. It just doesn't make sense to me.”

Johnny Depp (1963) American actor, film producer, and musician

Quoted in "'Johnny Depp - From Hell' special," http://www.johnnydeppfan.com/interviews/From%20Hell%20Special.htm ITV (January 2002)

“I am nothing but these people, and as an actor I’m always trying to call up lives and the reason I know these things as an actor is because I have the DNA of all these crazy people.”

Meryl Streep (1949) American actress

"Meryl Streep's British ancestor 'helped start war with Native Americans," 2012

“The character plays you, and this really resonates with me because I am not professionally trained, I’m more of ‘an in the moment’ actor.”
