As an actor, when you encounter a psychopathic personality, you naturally want to make him 'bigger than life,' as the Americans say.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In acting, you can always grow and get better - even if you think you're at your limit.
There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
Most good actors have a huge intelligence about the human condition and a real open heart to different kinds of people and behavior.
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch, except that we get this sort of catharsis every six months or so, and we go and be absolutely someone else.
Most actors are small, anyway - at least compared to me.
I think the life of an actor is very glamorous to other people - then, realities set in.
Acting makes you live plenty of lives.
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.
Actors are observers. They're trying to have an understanding of human sensibility. And how do you have that accurate observation if you regard yourself as someone of great importance? When you're the one constantly being observed, because they view you as a celebrity? It's all wrong.
Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.
