Did a quick search but didn't find a thread on TFP where actors are quoted. This sort of thing constantly appears in magazines, websites, blogs, TV, etc.

I thought we could have some fun and post any interesting quotes we may come across from actors here in Entertainment.

They can be stupid (there will be many of those!), clever, intelligent, humorous, funny, snarky, whatever.

I'll start:

Man has a point.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

"It's like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom, you know, 'oh, I'm just a hockey mom'... and she's facing down President Putin... It's totally absurd... it's a really terrifying possibility... I need to know if she really thinks that dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that, I really do. Because she's gonna have the nuclear codes." - ―actor Matt Damon

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up.
No use being a damned fool about it. - W.C. Fields

If, at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Then use a stunt double - Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He's not really a proper actor but here's QT giving as good as he gets...

"Yeah 'cause your filming. But if that was off I'd be whooping your ass up and down this street!"
