I think that's why I'm an actor: so I can tell those stories without having to really live through those stories with real consequences and real stakes, real responsibility.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.
Whenever you're telling a story about true-life events and about real people, there's a tremendous responsibility-slash-burden to get it right.
I think actors have a huge responsibility because of the vastness of their outreach. I am a big believer of the good that film, television, and theater can do, and I want to be a part of that. Throughout my career, I want to keep telling amazing stories and inspiring people.
I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.
Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.
I know the responsibility that entails from telling a story. The one thing I despise the most is when I go to a movie and I see a whole bunch of lazy actors making me waste my time and money.
I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.
Actors sure have stories. We always have stories. At the end of our careers, all we have to take with us is our stories, and we have many of them.
I feel like, as a celebrity, I have a responsibility to tell important stories.
As an actor, that's the best thing you can do, really take people along on a story and tell them something.
