So anyway, I've learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.
I knew absolutely nothing about acting, and had to be taught everything. Some people are born naturals and know how to walk, talk and hold themselves. I didn't and had to learn everything.
I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
I'm a young actor and I haven't learned everything there is about acting.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at and acting is something that I think I do know about.
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.
My only qualifications to be an actor were that I'm daring, and I'm a quick learner. I've always learnt by watching what other people do. It's the same with my writing. I write what I know. Structurally, I write in a very undisciplined way.
