I like to rate myself as a performer upfront, both in films as well as in television.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoy all kinds of performances and take each role differently. I keep the audiences in mind.
I try to get the best performance an actor can give.
If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.
Film wise, I invariably look at my work and reckon I could have done it better. I'm also conscious that I'm in a profession where we get more praise than we should compared to the usefulness of what we do.
I've got a very behind-the-scenes personality. I don't know how I became a performer. I like to stay discreet, out of the public eye, very low-key.
I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
As an actress, I'm constantly watching different shows and films and am always gathering information and inspiration for characters and techniques to make my performances the best they can be.
However, I hope I am also judged on my accomplishments as an actor and not just on my pretty face!
At the end, it's your movie and your performance that stands out. So if I am a good actor, and if am being part of good entertaining engaging films, audiences will like me.
I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
