For me, acting has often been solitary. You're all together, and then boom, you're gone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to be alone; the thing I love about acting is the other people you're doing it with.
I'm used to working alone. Frankly with some of the actors I've worked with, I've felt like I was working alone.
I do remember when I was starting acting, going from one set to the next, with not much else going on in my life. And at the end of the day, you get back to your hotel room and just feel this awful loneliness, because the cameras have stopped rolling.
Acting is pretty much my whole life.
Acting was never something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so it was easy to walk away.
There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.
People say: 'Oh, it's only acting,' but it's not ever just acting. At least not with me.
I used to have a lot of philosophies of acting; they all fell apart over the years.
Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.
Acting is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found.
