If you're playing any real person, live or dead, you certainly have a responsibility to produce that reputation in some way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.
I think part of my reputation has to do with the difficult roles I've played. Actors do tend to get identified with their characters.
I always thought being a gamer and someone who had a sense of responsibility to the game and to my teammates was the honorable thing.
I think, first of all, every time you want to play somebody who is real is always challenging and always scary, because you are given a responsibility of someone's real life.
You need responsibility in life.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.
With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.
You can't buy a good reputation; you must earn it.
I don't see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
