I think that more and more there's a sense that the best performances I can give are the ones that are the truest to who I am. The further I move away from who I am, the worse they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances.
Part of what makes your performances more convincing is that your own image isn't getting in the way. And the more you can keep it like that, the better for your work and your state of mind.
I like to rate myself as a performer upfront, both in films as well as in television.
I tend to be hypercritical of my performances. That's why I hate watching them with people I know.
There is a misperception, if you will, in critical response or even in Hollywood, that I can only do exaggerated characters. Or what they would call over-the-top performances. Well, this is completely false.
I try to get the best performance an actor can give.
I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.
I enjoy all kinds of performances and take each role differently. I keep the audiences in mind.
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
