I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The hardest part of acting is not when I'm acting, It's when I'm not.
Honestly, I wish I'd known just how hard it is and how competitive the acting world is. I took my time; I went at my own pace. That's been helpful over the years, but also, I didn't quite realize how incredible everyone else was going to be: the level of competition and everyone's skill.
Really it was the first time in my life that I recognised that acting is, I'm just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.
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.
The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.
One of the hardest things to do in acting is to stop thinking about yourself and stop being self-conscious.
I love acting. It's what I do, not what I am.
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
I love acting it's apart of me and I try to put a little bit of myself in each of my roles.
The idea of acting is something that absolutely repulses me. I just can't do it. I'm terrible at it. I get roped into films every now and then, and it's always a disaster.
