Some may think acting is easy, and that it is simple to cry or laugh when required. But acting is easier said than done. This probably explains why not everyone is a success in Hollywood. And also why many people don’t get a chance to enter Hollywood. Actors and actresses are adored by not millions, but billions of fans across the globe. Not only do Hollywood stars have their share of love from fans worldwide, but they also have substantial net worth. And in case you didn’t know, actors don’t just make all their money from movies. Other financial sources include advertisements, endorsements, and modeling jobs.
Nevertheless, actors and actresses are also recognized for some great quotes. Some famous Hollywood stars weren’t born ‘with a silver spoon in their mouth’. Many had to work hard to come to where they are now. Let’s take a look at some famous quotes by three renowned actors.
