Acting is a job of permission. Someone has to give you permission to do it. But I have started to be like, 'I only want to do things that I want to do,' and writing has afforded me the luxury.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of creative freedom. Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.
Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.
Acting is one of those things that anybody can do because no one can learn it, but only a few people can really do because it's nothing you can learn.
Acting is something I always wanted to do and knew I could do.
There are so many reasons why, for me, writing is superior to acting. One of them is anonymity. Writers can live relatively normal lives.
Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that's something I figured out pretty early on.
Writing is much more satisfying on a certain level than acting ever was. Because you're not interpreting someone else's original idea, you can come up with your own.
Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.
