My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch, except that we get this sort of catharsis every six months or so, and we go and be absolutely someone else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.
I think when actors run away from their work that they're slightly crazy, really!
I think all actors have addictive personalities.
Most of my friends are not actors. Most people have an idea of what an actor's life is, and it's pure glamour and excitement: it's easy and free and everyone loves you. But with a certain level of fame, there's a real level of paranoia and depression that comes with what you do, that nobody talks about.
I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we're all actors.
All good actors are unpredictable, and a little crazy in a good way, because they feel more secure playing other people than themselves.
There is always one person on the set who has a lot of anxiety, an actor who is really intense and has to stay in character and holds himself away from the rest of us.
When you are dealing with something that's crazy, you still want actors to play characters and find the reality of the situation, no matter how absurd the situation is.
I grew up with actors, so I never thought of them as anything but human - sort of horribly, inextricably human.
Normal people - i.e., people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, 'They are clinically insane.'
