A lot of actors and actresses pull from past experiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think all actors experience ups and downs.
As an actress, I think it's important to look back and realize that we aren't always quite as original as we think we are. There's this grand, textured history for us over the last 100 years of incredible writers, directors, and performers.
Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead.
Acting was a way of me finding myself, which I think is the case of a lot of actors, regardless of where they come from.
I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change.
I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself - to revisit someone's past, whether you're portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you.
There are some actors that are so gifted, that move you in such a way that every time you see their names again, you go and pay another ticket because you want to have that experience again.
In a very short period of time, actors can become kind of relevant and hot.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.
