I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I admire a lot of actors, but I don't covet people's careers.
I think a lot of actors feel like outsiders or miscreants. This profession provides an opportunity to play out all the different parts of ourselves.
Part of the privilege of being an actor is the people you get to work with.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
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.
One of the best things about being an actor is that it's a meritocracy.
People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what's implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.
Actors are very generous.
I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people.
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
