I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
As an actor, of course, you want to be in something that's successful.
My career aspirations as an actor have always been driven foremost by the creative desire to be versatile.
I will never be a career actor, I don't think. I don't feel that I have the skill set to jump into it that way, although I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
I've been a musician longer than I've been an actor.
My job is essentially that of an entertainer, no different to that of a musician, no different to that of an actor. I just happen to be an author.
Hopefully I've gotten better as an actor as the years have gone on, but the type of work I want to do has never changed.
As an actor, you need to be versatile. You need to challenge yourself.
Because I'm now successful, what I'm being offered as an actor is more and more of the same.
Being an actor is a much more structured life than being a musician.
