You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity. - Denzel Washington
I don’t think I’ll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over. - Sean Connery
I have no shortage of material or offers, it's just a case of what you select to do. But I think it's realistic that my chances of playing Romeo are now over. - Sean Connery
I’m an actor – it’s not brain surgery. If I do my job right, people won’t ask for their money back. - Sean Connery
If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film. But in the end, retirement is just too much fun. - Sean Connery
Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan. - Uma Thurman
For a writer, they say write what you know. As a performer, you find it in yourself, in your heart. You relate to the character. You try to live it, try to have it be real for you. - Uma Thurman
I love comedy. I don't approach it any different. I'm not a comedian. I'm not a stand-up. I just do it like a part and personally, I love to watch comedies. If you don't get to do what you like to watch you get frustrated. - Uma Thurman
I wanted to seem completely invisible but whenever you're saying someone else's words and relaying the story of someone else's life, it's not you. - Uma Thurman
It's hard sometimes if you think a character should look a certain way and you're being pushed to do it differently. I've had fights over that. That's why it's so important that you work with good people. - Uma Thurman
It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone. - Uma Thurman
For 'Rocky II,' I got a torn pectoral muscle, I got all beat up inside, I had to have an operation to splice things back together. - Sylvester Stallone
I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look. - Sylvester Stallone
I made some truly awful movies. 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes. - Sylvester Stallone
Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak. - Sylvester Stallone
The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You're going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do. - Sylvester Stallone
Today's action hero, his skills are through technology. He can fly, he can throw a bolt of lightning, he can freeze people. - Sylvester Stallone
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals. - Sylvester Stallone
When I'm doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it's tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That's it. For dinner it's either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring. - Sylvester Stallone
