Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought. - Anthony Hopkins
The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting. - Anthony Hopkins
I'm too grateful that I continue to grow as an actor. I hope I get better. I feel like I am. But it's a roll of the dice every time you make a movie. Nobody knows. - Demi Moore
In a way, I feel that film roles haven't given me the opportunity to show I have a sense of humor. - Demi Moore
Look, when people came after me for doing 'Indecent Proposal' or 'Disclosure,' I thought, 'Ridiculous.' These people are trying to limit me as an actor. Are they saying I can't play these roles? Well, I've proved I can. - Demi Moore
I worry from the moment I take a job. I worry about how I'm going to do it, if I can do it...

There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting. - Jack Nicholson
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women. - Jack Nicholson
