Actresses cannot have any inhibitions while portraying bold characters. It is something that we learn on the first page of the book on acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.
I love actresses who are brave and don't do what's expected of them or don't play off how they look or take risks.
A part of being an actress that is sort of frustrating is that the writers get to tell you about your character.
I am not one of those actresses who loves acting.
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
Not all actresses know how to express their looks, I think. For me, it's an on-again, off-again thing. I'm still struggling.
I don't know whether it's audiences or filmmakers who want characters to be likable today, but I don't think actors are afraid of their characters being unlikable.
You have to be talentedly insecure in order to be a good actress. And then it's the director's job to make you more miserable and get a good take.
Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?
It's very difficult to put your finger on why a certain actor or actress will capture your attention, and you'll think they're right for a role. There's an essence to a person.
