An actor is someone who pretends to be somebody else. A movie star is somebody who pretends that somebody else is them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.
What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.
An actor is an actor is an actor. The less personality an actor has off stage the better. A blank canvas on which to draw the characters he plays.
An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God - that'd be a boring career. When you take on different roles and become a different person, that's called acting... It's a challenge.
An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.
In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.
What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.
I think there's a difference between a working actor, a movie star and a celebrity. They're all three different things.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
