Quote

I try to not think too much about how stuff gets seen as it's being done by a woman. Because if you think about it, then you end up thinking about how you're acting, and if you are thinking about how you're acting, then you are preoccupied and you're going to end up being insincere. You're kind of not present.

Am I a 'woman of action'? I don't think of myself that way.

— Kathryn Bigelow

I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.

— Saoirse Ronan

Acting feels different. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but it used to mean a lot more. Maybe that sounds like I'm throwing it away and I'm not, I'll still do the best damn job I can, but it doesn't mean the same thing. I'm going to get the answer for myself one of these days. It's the male menopause, that's what it is.

— Mel Gibson

Women exist in my imagination. So they are necessarily a type of abstraction. Many women criticise me for this vision, but I explain to them it's to be expected, because I am a man.

— Bruno Dumont

You bring out a lot of your own thoughts and attitudes when acting. I think a great deal of it has to do with the inner you.

— Ginger Rogers

I always feel like I've been slightly misunderstood. As a woman, you get judged for appearances or things like that I don't really care about.

— Lykke Li

A lot of the time I hate acting. It has a lot to do with the way I was brought up in a world where showing your emotions is frowned upon. It's just not manly. I don't do anything in life because I love doing it. It's because I want to be good at it.

— Matthew Fox

For acting, if there's a strong female role and there is that action element, for me that just feels really natural.

— Marisa Miller

✗Opposing Perspectives

I tell you, I've always been quite physical about acting. I've always felt about for the shape of someone or the deportment, for better or worse. Sometimes I think I've done it disastrously, and other times, when I'm not thinking about it so much, less disastrously, but I can't seem to control it much.

— Martin Clunes

It's very easy to say that men think about things more simply, but it kind of is true. And that's not actually a bad thing. Approaching things in a more logical, practical fashion. This is a massive generalisation, but women tend to think about things more first, then act afterwards.
