As an actor, it's so, so rewarding and so pleasing to not be reprimanded.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.
As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
That's one of the great privileges, being an actor, is that someone pays you and sends you off to learn about something that otherwise you'd never know about.
There is something pleasurable for an actor to produce something and not be in it.
As an actor you have to get used to receiving gentle little pies in the face.
You're much better off creating positive rewards, complimenting people for acting correctly, rather than punishing them when they act incorrectly.
I feel that's a good thing as an actor that you do not feel satisfied. Whenever I go back and watch myself on screen, I find multiple reasons to redo that scene. That's an occupational hazard that most actors face. You can never come to terms with it.
It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.
As an actor, you get humbled all the time. Everyone is a critic.
