I've always been interested in films where you can identify with the actors. Where you can be in their shoes and therefore be more involved if they're people that you recognize.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been fortunate to work with several actors and directors who I look up to, and learned from each of them.
I just have always been so interested in the way actors and actresses present themselves to the world because I think it is very important and it affects the way people see you as an actor.
You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
The truth is that filmmaking is not really an actor's medium; it's really a director's medium, so all I can really control is the character that I'm playing. So I try to look for characters that are interesting and engaging and different than what I've done before and hopefully it becomes a good movie.
There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.
I know people from working with them on films, but they're not the ones I would meet up with... I'm just a normal person!
Actors look at life in a different way. When I meet people, I know that one day I may portray that person or someone like them. It may be a cop or a homeless guy. It helps you to pay more attention to people. Everyone I meet, I retain something from them, something from their personality. It helps me to portray realism in my work.
Actors go inside the heads of other people and are not afraid of the complicated places you can find yourself.
Where else do you find great directors? Acting is one of the places.
Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
