I believe acting to be my own journey through connection more than anything else, but that's only my take on it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, I have to be fulfilled in the roles that I play; it has to be a journey for me to learn something or involve myself.
You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.
Acting, believe it or not, can get very self-involved! I feel fortunate to have been able to work on things with people who have a very specific point of view and perspective, and who feel like they're doing something very active.
Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely.
For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.
I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people.
The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.
This is going to sound pretentious and esoteric, but I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. Acting has always been a spiritual journey for me. The very first project I ever acted on paralleled my experience so perfectly even before I was aware of it.
The thrill of acting is the discovery part, so it all changes, but it has to change in a way that fits what is written. You can't just wander off and get interested in your own tangent.
