I try to be like a sponge when I'm around other actors, picking things up about the way they work and how they do things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.
I try to be a good, diligent actor.
I try to really focus on the actors I'm working with and kind of read and respond to their behavior.
I choose my actors well and get to know the quirks of their personalities - and, most of all, I share humor with them. Then I keep my eyes open when they rehearse and perform, because you never know where the next stimulation comes from.
I've never thought that what I do as an actor does anything for anybody, other than making them laugh once in a while.
One of the reasons I love acting is because I'm so interested in other people's lives, and I often incorporate things I hear or observe into my work. I've become a bit of a 'person addict,' and so I like brushing up against lots of different characters.
I'm fortunate enough to have had an opportunity to do a range of stuff, and the thing I admire most in actors is versatility, those that morph and change, those kind of chameleon actors who are unrecognisable from one job to another. That's something that I aspire to establish myself.
I always learn something from every actor I've ever worked with. I always pick something from them.
As an actor, I still don't really know exactly what I am doing most of the time.
When I'm acting, I just come up with people I've known, and I stick with it.
