Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea that you must treat actors a certain way in order to get a performance out of them kind of disturbs me, and it's disregarding what we do. Our job is to do our job.
So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?
Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
You know, people really don't understand what actors do.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
