There's a side to you as an actor, a selfish side, that wants to go on and play different roles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to be selfish to be an actor.
All of us have a lot of sides to ourselves, but the fun thing about being actor is you make one side predominant for the character you're playing.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.
As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.
The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.
Some actors give you what you want. Some you have to make do what you want.
There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.
That's the joy of getting to be an actor - getting to play all kinds of different roles and showing so many different sides of yourself.
The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.
