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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I just have always been so interested in the way actors and actresses present themselves to the world because I think it is very important and it affects the way people see you as an actor.
There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.
As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.
All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
There's a lot of directors who were actors, so they have the sensibility of an actor, which sometimes helps.
People are really emotionally affected by actors. And it's hard to know how to behave in a way that doesn't impose or withdraw. Because everybody wants your attention.
Sometimes you need to put your own characteristics into the actor, and you take different things from the character that you admire - sometimes you can't see the boundaries anymore.
When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.
The whole point of being an actor is to get satisfaction out of a role - unless you're just vain about celebrity. You're always looking for the one thing that will surprise you.
