If you try to talk about yourself honestly when you're an actor, you come off as stuck on yourself.
Life was so easy before I became an actor. I could talk to anyone, and no one bothered. I keep thinking to myself, 'Should I not be myself,' but I won't do that.
I really like to hear actors talk about acting, but I don't really like hearing myself talk.
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
People become actors because they want to hide, and it's not easy to talk about myself. I accept that a certain responsibility goes with being an actor in the public eye, but I haven't found a comfortable way to deal with it.
Actors use who they are to be someone else, but I would hate to ever think I'm playing myself. It's imagining being someone else that is the key motivating thing for me. So when people want to know about me, it makes me a bit unnerved.
There's a certain amount of self-aggrandising with actors, and I'm terribly shy of that.
I've always tried to be an actor who... I just plod on and try to keep my mouth shut, mind my own business. I find the whole thing about people's lives... I can't understand it. I'm always astonished that people want to know anything about me.
I don't really view myself as an actor.
You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.
