People call me an instinctive actor. I used to consider that an insult early on, only because I had never studied. Now... I love it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started to study, because I knew I had to learn a lot about myself as an actor; you can't act the same as you did as a child.
An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.
Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.
Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.
Sometimes I don't feel like an actor. Sometimes I speak about it like it was another job, and then I go, 'Wait a minute - I am one!'
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are.
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can't really be like that. Because you never know what's right: what you feel inside versus what is portrayed.
I'm not an instinctive actor.
