To recognize yourself in a character onscreen, and to connect with them, you gotta recognize their flaws; they gotta feel like a real person.Ryan Coogler

Cogsworth, the character I did on 'Beauty and the Beast,' could be a bit flamboyant onscreen, because basically, he is a cartoon. But they didn't want Cogsworth to become Disney's gay character, because it got around a gay man was playing him.David Ogden Stiers
Copy
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.Garth Brooks
Copy
It defiantly helps the chemistry onscreen if the audience can tell if the relationship is real or not.Nicholas Galitzine
Copy
Thinking back on it, I just really didn't have very many role models to look up to when it came to Asian actresses. And in that way, when I would see an Asian onscreen, it would be a secondary-type thing, and that's kind of how I ended up viewing myself in the world: as secondary.Kimiko Glenn
Copy
We see so much violence in films, whether it is Bollywood or south films. People are shown blowing up each other onscreen. It's like a seed that is planted and you keep feeding it with small doses. It's cancerous and does affect society.Victor Banerjee
Copy
I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.Antonio Banderas
Copy
I actually have a decent singing voice, and I've never been able to sing onscreen. I'd love to do a musical.Ed Harris
Copy
No one really has any idea about me. To me, what I give you is what happens onscreen, and past that, anything you're coming up with in your own head, you're creating in your own mind.Dean Ambrose
Copy
My strong sense now is that, as women have become more equal in society, so their depictions onscreen have become lamer and lamer and lamer, to the point that it's an embarrassment.Allison Pearson
Copy
Luv Ranjan does not believe in bikini bodies. Therefore, he always insists that we look like relatable characters onscreen.Nushrat Bharucha
Copy
Often our onscreen personas are different from who we are. Actors like Kamal Haasan, who is such a genius, has never played a role close to what he is in real life.Suhasini Maniratnam
Copy
The feel of patriotism might be the common factor in my onscreen avatars, yet they were all very different from each other. All the characters had different circumstances and faced different challenges, just like two different individuals.Manoj Kumar
Copy
Fantasmas' is very empathetic toward everyone who's onscreen. The characters are the kind of people you bump into that you might never see again but they made an impact on your life.Julio Torres
Copy
I think of 'Mommy' as very simplistic or not simplistic, but I wish for the style to actually work with what you see onscreen and what you feel in that very moment. I hope we did not disrespect the characters by being too flamboyant when it's not necessary.Xavier Dolan
Copy
My first time on camera was 'One Life to Live.' I mourn for actors coming up that the daytime soap opera is becoming extinct. It's theater onscreen.Gina Torres
Copy
I think it is easier to hear my voice than see myself onscreen, particularly as the years progress. Watching myself onscreen becomes less and less enthralling.Anjelica Huston
Copy
In terms of number of movies, I've been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I'm onscreen, it's not so long.Wallace Shawn
Copy
'Instructions Not Included' is proving that there is a huge Latin market that needs a special project. They love seeing their own people; they want to see themselves onscreen. In my case, I know them pretty well. I know what they laugh at. I think it's going to open a lot of doors, this movie.Eugenio Derbez
Copy
We look so many different ways and come from so many different places, and I love that about us. That's so important for the next generation to see themselves onscreen and know that they, too, can dance and express their Latin joy.Rachel Zegler
Copy
For the most part, I was surprised by the representation of female characters onscreen. I do hope that when we include more female storytellers, we will have more of the women that I recognize in my day to day life.Jessica Chastain
Copy
I grew up as a Christian, and I always think of Jesus as someone right next to us, you know, someone really close, and I never actually saw that onscreen in a way that could be identified.Diogo Morgado
Copy
A couple of my favorite actors are Don Cheadle, Jeffrey Wright, and, may he rest in peace, Philip Seymour Hoffman. I've had an opportunity to see all of them onscreen and onstage.Sterling K. Brown
Copy
My first kiss was onscreen. My character learned to drive before I did, so when they asked me to hit the mark with that giant Lincoln, I hit the camera instead. Being an actor gives an interesting perspective on life. And in my case, an interesting preview.Kellie Martin
Copy
Every human being has a plethora of emotions. As an actor, we are lucky to take them out and portray onscreen. But in normal life you can't do that. That is the charm of leading an actor's life.Kay Kay Menon
Copy
We need diversity onscreen. We need to be moving in that direction, because that's a reflection of the world that we're living in today.Kiana Madeira
Copy
As I came into myself as a young Black woman, I realized there's a whole type of person and human experience that is just not onscreen. That really pushed me towards what I do now, which is tell stories about people you don't often see stories about.Nia DaCosta
Copy
You can live an entire experience, but until you see it represented onscreen, that tends to be the most helpful way that people go, 'Oh wait, that's me. I'm not alone in this life. This experience is not 100 percent unique and isolated to me.'E. R. Fightmaster
Copy
What do actors really want? To be great actors? Yes, but you can't buy talent, so it's best to leave the word 'great' out of it. I think to be believed, onstage or onscreen, is the one hope that all actors share.Gene Wilder
Copy
I like silence. Aesthetically, I feel strangled by the fast cutting and a wall of sound. And I think showing black people thinking onscreen is radical.Ava DuVernay
Copy
I want more images onscreen because when I was growing up, I think, like, that one kiss in 'The Color Purple' was the one thing that I had. Or 'The Watermelon Woman.'Dee Rees
Copy
Sarah Paulson doesn't lie. Like, in life. But she doesn't lie onscreen, and you can't take your eyes off somebody who always tells the truth. She's the most honest person I've ever met.Sterling K. Brown
Copy
I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.Helena Bonham Carter
Copy
It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.George Clooney
Copy
I like dramas. I've always liked dramas. And I'm a pretty light person. I don't consider myself a very dramatic person. But I do like doing that onscreen.Jodie Foster
Copy
It's one of the things I always do. I move faster onscreen. Creates a sense of danger.Lee Marvin
Copy
Although jealousy is a strong word, who would like to see the person they love romance someone else, even onscreen?Kunal Khemu
Copy
I think it's probably safe to say that continuing our onscreen relationship in front of the camera is probably not happening. I expect Adam may well pursue things in front of the camera, but I'm most likely not. It's not who I am.Jamie Hyneman
Copy
It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.Chris Hemsworth
Copy
I don't like watching things where I think the people onscreen are ahead of me or assuming I know something that I don't know.Louis Theroux
Copy
Hrithik Roshan is my idol both onscreen as well as off screen. I wish that I could become just 50 percent like him.Tiger Shroff
Copy
On 'Catfish,' I'm a co-host and onscreen cameraman, maybe the second onscreen cameraman after Wes Bentley's turn in 'American Beauty,' which is funny and ironic. But before that, I'd been doing a lot of creative nonfiction.Max Joseph
Copy
How often do we get to see trans people interacting with each other onscreen? We have friends. Hello? We're people. We're not just this isolated unit all the time. I would like to see us carry a project.Trace Lysette
Copy
When I was growing up, there were people of color onscreen, but I never saw interracial couples.Isa Briones
Copy
When you have actors like Salman, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kareena Kapoor Khan, you life as a director is easier because they are such brilliant actors, there is a certain energy they bring onscreen.Kabir Khan
Copy
I go to auditions even now and people say, 'Oh, she's too pretty,' or 'She doesn't look like a small-town girl or a girl in high school who would get bullied.' But that's the whole point of being an actress - you can look glamorous when you're on the red carpet, and then bring it all down and be raw onscreen.Camila Morrone
Copy
As a filmmaker, I believe in trying to make movies that invite the audience to be part of the film; in other words, there are some films where I'm just a spectator and am simply observing from the front seat. What I try to do is draw the audience into the film and have them participate in what's happening onscreen.Peter Jackson
Copy
I think 'West Side Story' is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, musicals ever put onscreen - or stage, for that matter. I, frankly, like Zeffirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' very much, too. I grew up with that... I loved it. I loved the score; I loved the acting.Kelly Asbury
