There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.

As an actor, sometimes you feel a pressure to change yourself from time to time.

You work really hard to make it, and maybe you get some acclaim, but then you realize there are certain limitations as an actor.

I think, for every actor, the most challenging part of playing a character, specially a real-life character, is to convince yourself that you are the character.

The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.

People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.

The hardest thing about being an actor, for me, is that if you are the 0.00001% of individuals who wants to do it, you're a freak. And you're an assertive freak. Though actors are often shy, there's this tremendous assertive extroversion in you somewhere.

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.
