Alexandra Daddario

When you're with another actor who's also been through five hours of prosthetic makeup, and you're eating another person's neck, and fake blood is being spurted out at you for two minutes, it's incredibly fun, and you're in character for that time. You can't really believe that that's your job.

American Actress

Taki Theodoracopulos

I've become very, very liberal as far as war is concerned. It's just too terrible. I've been to wars and I've seen what happens. I know what it is to be hurt, and it's nothing compared to these guys. To be blind for the rest of your life. To have prosthetic limbs.

Greek Journalist

Ian Mckellen

It's an interesting but useless bit of information that every single character in 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' wears a wig, and many of them wears a prosthetic - false ears, feet, hands. In my case, nose.

English Actor

Amy Purdy

I have two prosthetic legs. This is my life; what am I going to do with it? And it's put me on this amazing journey. I can look back and be completely grateful and say I would never want to change anything.

John Lydon

English Musician

Jennifer Saunders

British Comedian

Anna Friel

The doctors say it dates back to a film where I had these huge prosthetic breasts because my character was breast-feeding. The weight of them, and of the baby, did my back in.

English Actress

Greig Fraser

Rubber looks different to skin and it's very, very hard to make a prosthetic on a human look convincing if you don't light them correctly.

Australian Diplomat

Jacob Tremblay

You can't itch on the prosthetic, or else you will rip it, and it's really expensive.

Canadian Actor

Peter Jackson

New Zealander Director

Avoid confusing 'prosthetic' with 'prosthesis'. The adjective 'prosthetic' describes the nature of the item.

When discussing someone’s prosthetic, be respectful, as it may be a sensitive topic.

Emotional Context

Medical Technology

'Prosthetic' is the precise term for an artificial body part, but it's not used for minor aids like a hearing aid.
