I used to be under the impression that if a role wasn't difficult, then there was nothing happening. Then a director said to me: 'Ken, you've got to realise, acting can be fun, too.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.
Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written - then it's completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor.
I find performing very difficult. It's difficult to be a good actor. I get very nervous, even though it sounds disingenuous, because you could legitimately go, 'Well, why do it?'
Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.
All good actors are easy to work with. It's the ones that aren't very good who tend to be very difficult.
The hardest part of acting is not when I'm acting, It's when I'm not.
As an actor, you know there are things you get asked to do that you do quite well, with less effort.
The hardest part about acting is realizing it doesn't matter.
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
I have never really believed that acting is very difficult. I think some people have a skill and are able to act, and if you have that natural gift, it's not difficult.
