You bring out a lot of your own thoughts and attitudes when acting. I think a great deal of it has to do with the inner you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people.
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.
When you really get it right in acting, it's an act of empathy. You feel less distant from others, and that is really exciting.
It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.
I think probably the reason why I really enjoy acting is that I really am interested in people. I'm interested in what they think, why they think it and what happened in their lives to make them see things a certain way.
The trick to acting is not to show off, it's to think the thoughts of the character.
In life, you have to keep certain parts of yourself in check because you want to be a decent human being. But one of the guilty pleasures of acting is that sometimes you get to let a little something out that you don't in life because it's not right.
What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.
As always, with acting, you can't be too self-conscious. You shouldn't care about what people are thinking about you at the time because they're not caring about you, they're caring about the character.
