Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision
“When I watched the first episode, I’m like, ‘Oh, goddamn it.’ I was so frustrated, because I can see my 10-year-old theater-kid self playing out to the audience instead of the camera.”
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter
“Mistakes other actors get to make in rehearsal rooms or at drama school are all on film for everyone to see.”
Pierce Brosnan as James Bond
“I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. ‘Cause it’s just never good enough. It’s a horrible feeling.”
Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending
“My character had had his larynx ripped out by this wolf man, and so I made the slightly bold choice — which I thought was right. I won a prize for it for the Worst Performance of the Year. So, yeah, it was a pretty bad performance on my account.”
Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun
“I just kept walking in and out, cringing.”
Christian Bale in The Dark Knight trilogy
“I didn’t quite manage what I hoped I would throughout the trilogy … My own sense of self is like, ‘I didn’t quite nail it.’ …“
Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans
“I think I can f@#king act better, to be honest.”
Nicole Kidman in Australia
“I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done. I sat there and I looked at Keith [Urban] and went, ‘Am I any good in this movie?’ … It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all.”
Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys
“That performance bothered me because there was a trap in the writing. It’s not the writing’s fault, but it was something that I couldn’t figure out. I knew in the second half of the film, I was playing the gimmick of what was real in the first half — until the last scene — and it bugged the [expletive] out of me.”
Megan Fox in Transformers
“It’s my first real movie, and it’s not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn’t bad; I just wasn’t proud about what I did.”
Helena Bonham Carter in Les Misérables
“I had lots of vocal training for Les Mis, but I didn’t improve as much as I thought I would. I watched it and thought… I was going to be so much better, I thought my voice was going to be so much bigger.”
Zac Efron in High School Musical
“I step back and look at myself and I still want to kick that guy’s @$$ sometimes. Like, f@#k that guy. He’s done some kind of cool things with some cool people — he did that one thing [Neighbors] that was funny — but, I mean, he’s still just that f@#king kid from [High School Musical].”
Colin Farrell in Miami Vice
“I didn’t like it so much — I thought it was style over substance, and I accept a good bit of the responsibility.”
Anne Hathaway when she co-hosted The Academy Awards
“If you think about embarrassment on scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a person walking down the street and 10 is, for me, co-hosting the Oscars with James Franco.”
Emma Watson in The Perks of Being A Wallflower
“I think [my accent] sounded terrible!”
George Clooney in Batman and Robin
“[I’m] terrible in it.”
Sarah Silverman on Saturday Night Live
“The fact that Lorne Michaels saw anything in me at that age and at that time for me where I don’t think I was close to where I would become is impressive for him.”
Meryl Streep in The French Lieutenant’s Woman
“I was young and new at this I wasn’t as pleased as I could…I didn’t feel like I was living it.”
