From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Not every actor gives their life to do this job. Some just do it as a job. Well, it's my life.
I think every actor brings something personal to a role, right?
There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.
I do think that's so much a part of what being a director is - in working with actors - to really try and be sensitive to what each actor needs to get to where he wants to be.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what's implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.
