I think you have a pact with an audience in every picture, and I think the pact is to try and be truthful and to be real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have an audience that is fairly well grounded in the real world. You serve them and yourself best by making everything as real as possible.
I think everybody's got a presentation. Everybody looks a certain way because they want to convey a certain image. You look a certain way because you want people to listen to you in a certain way.
I've made a kind of pact with myself where I said, It doesn't matter what it is as long as I'm acting.
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
As the camera, I try to subordinate every word to be truthful and honest to each character's context.
I think there is something so compelling about the truth that whether you're a lawyer or judge or an actor, when you get at that truth, it connects with people on a particular level that I think makes your art more viable.
As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.
It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.
All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too.
I feel like my mission is to be honest with myself. My mission is to share my truth - share, not give. I think that's what an artist is supposed to do: I think they share.
