One of the first things I learned about acting was, the only person you compete against is yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting was never my first choice as a profession, but I came to terms with it when I decided I better buckle down and be the best I can be at it.
The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.
I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.
I think that some people like to be someone other than themselves when acting, while others are most themselves. I fall into the second camp. For me, acting is a great exercise in getting to the truth about myself.
Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn't until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.
I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.
I think the beautiful thing about acting is you don't really know who you are. You're able to be whatever you want any day during the week. So I really couldn't see myself being anything else.
The weird thing about acting is you're the most competent when you're at your best, but you have to be validated.
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.
I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
