I think when you're doing a lead role, there is so much more pressure. If you fail, not only do you fail, but everybody else fails, too. As opposed to when it's a supporting role and it's only you that sucked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think anybody can relate to the reluctance to have to lead sometimes.
I love to be the lead, but you can't always be the lead.
I still reject lead roles, as I don't accept any role if I don't find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections.
Strength is leading when you just don't want to lead.
When you experience a failure as a leader, don't hide it - talk about it. Your missed opportunity will encourage others to take risks.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
Making the choice to cast someone in a lead role is a big one. You don't want to squander your opportunity.
As long as you gave it your best shot, even if in the opinion of others 'you failed,' you didn't fail.
You lead with direction, and you try to lead by example. I try to be there when things are not good and obviously share the spoils of success.
I'm not intimidated by lead roles. I'm better in them. I don't feel pressure. I feel released at times like that. That's what I'm born to do.
