You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.

As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.

Contrast of emotions is definitely something interesting that you like to do as an actor.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

You have to find it in the moment, and that's one of the challenges of being an actor - especially a film actor - is that you have to maintain these heightened emotions for long periods of time. There's no trick to it. You just have to do.

You never really know why you become an actor: it's a visceral thing, an emotional thing.

An emotional performance is usually more instinctive to an actor.

Obviously, in theatre, you work chronologically, so you kind of know where your emotions are supposed to be, and you're always on top of things, and as an actor, you always know what's coming next.

I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.
