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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a super emotional person, so that's one reason I love acting - it makes me deal with myself in that kind of way.
Acting is a bit of a heart and soul exercise with me. It's kind of all I've got.
The joy of acting for me is to be able to experience emotions in a safe environment. You can't scream and cry in the street because everybody will look. If you do it on a movie set, you get applauded.
Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me.
Acting is something I love.
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
There's that great thing about acting - you're wearing your heart on your sleeve, and you're speaking off the cuff. You know, you're fearless about it, and - and it's great. And I love it.
For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.
I don't really like 'acting' - I like things to feel as natural as possible.
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.
