In the moment of acting you don't feel like anything, you feel like the person, as much as you can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, acting comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don't act at all. I think that to feel the character's pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.
When you really get it right in acting, it's an act of empathy. You feel less distant from others, and that is really exciting.
To me, acting doesn't really feel that different, one job to another.
Let me put it this way. There is more to acting than just acting like somebody. I like to act in such a way that other people get some notion of what it's like to be somebody.
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
Sometimes I don't feel like an actor. Sometimes I speak about it like it was another job, and then I go, 'Wait a minute - I am one!'
Acting is a total physical, emotional sensation.
I don't like acting things; I like feeling things.
I can't even tell anyone how it feels when I'm acting, I don't mean to say that I don't have to try. But there's something in my heart that explodes, and I feel like I understand. When I'm acting, I feel like so in control and so centered. This is something that I solely get from acting and music. It's like love itself.
