I have scars from every film I have made. There is nothing to protect actors. They treat you worse than a dog. You work like a slave, and you know, I like it. That is the way it should be. Every film should be like your last.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have actual acting scars.
Every actor who has done an action film has a little tiny scar somewhere from that.
I've been a victim in every film I have done so far. It would be nice to play someone who doesn't get killed for once. Then again, I am getting really good at screaming and fake tears.
People say that one of the most important things about being an actor is to have thick skin, but I don't think that's it. Because you can't just walk around being tough, you have to be able to be vulnerable to do this. So really, it's about not being defensive.
What is protecting me is that it is not a finality being an actress. I really think we tend to idealize this job a lot. When you're an actress and you're really famous, it means people believe you are on top of the world - and I think that's not true.
Scars show toughness: that you've been through it, and you're still standing.
Any time you do a movie, there are going to be war wounds that you end up getting.
As an actor, you have to get used to being told no, develop a thick skin, and just keep persevering.
One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.
When people don't like the film, I can take a bullet. I don't mind you talking about me, but I'm protective of my actors, because they bared their soul for me.
