I am not one of those actors who believes he has to live the part he is playing. I can turn it on and off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As soon as you do it, actors realize there is no difference playing a performance-captured role or a live-action role.
There's a side to you as an actor, a selfish side, that wants to go on and play different roles.
As an actor, there's a bit of you that's decided you want to be looked at and watched, but there's a paradoxical bit that wants to run away.
I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.
I think the more you do as an actor, the more facility you have to switch on and off.
If you're a movie actor, you're on your own - you cannot control the stage. The director controls it.
The actor is in the hands of a lot of other people, over which he has no control.
Actors pull from their own experiences to bring reality to the characters. I wouldn't want to play someone who's a lot like me. There would be no turning it on or off.
I'm not a director who feels I should be in your face all the time. I really want you to watch the actors and listen to the play.
Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.
