Acting is the most insecure profession in the world - you're insecure if you're successful, you're insecure if you're not. A tightrope walk without a net. It's a miracle I'm still standing!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not an insecure person. For me, insecurity comes when something I do does not come across the way I thought it would. It would come if I had nothing more to say as an actor. I have a long way to go!
Being an actress hasn't made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
Actors know what actors are insecure about - and they're all insecure.
Actors are such an insecure breed.
Actors, by nature, are insecure. I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. It is good to question yourself, be self-analytical. You get a better performance if you challenge yourself. If you go around thinking you're great, you're never going to challenge or scare yourself.
Some of the greatest actors on the planet are the most insecure people. Now I don't know if that insecurity necessarily equates to a lack of confidence. Some people are just very shy individuals. You give them a character to play and a script, and you put them in front of a camera or on a stage, and they just go.
In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.
I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids' bits. I've always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.
But I'm guessing every actor is insecure.
