You respect all of these people that you know in the business as actors. And they sort of turn around and say, we really like your work. It's a nice acknowledgment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.
On my set, people have to respect the actor's process. I totally respect what actors do. I give them whatever time they need, and I never scream out directions from the camera. I take the time to walk up to them and talk to them personally.
It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.
What's really important is the people, first of all. I like working with people who are kind, above all else. I don't really want to work with someone who will manipulate me. 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.
I come from a theatrical background, where, if you're working on a movie or a play, you always respect the people you work with. You're accommodating.
I see my job as an actor to be as good a channel as I can be. Acting is a gift, and I have respect for it.
Actors live dependent on being validated by other people's opinions. I don't understand what it is I do that people want. I don't know what an actor does. I have no credentials. I don't know what I'm doing.
Through all of this lovely interviewing, and nice things people say, and the rest of it, I have learned that I am an actor. That is my profession. That is my job. That is how I make a living. So I am just out there making a living.
As an actor we're just like workers in a factory, we provide our services to directors. But I must do my job perfectly, and I love what I do.
I have great respect for directors who know what they're doing.
