When you're young, working in a warehouse or selling hot dogs, you look at work - at acting - as something precious. It gets you out of the stink.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.
When you start so young working, you build a hunger for acting, working, and a busy life.
What is a struggle is that acting isn't a place where you go to work and you do that thing. There aren't set boundaries, like an office, where you go and work. For me, the work is always on my mind.
In terms of work, obviously acting is such a job that is very in the flesh kind of thing. It's your work, but it's your life, in a way. You can get so mixed up.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm not working at McDonald's and how come I have the life I have. I don't know. But I'm happy that I have these choices. That's kinda sappy, huh? But whatever, acting beats pumping gas.
Acting can be a great job, but you do have to make up things to do when you're not working.
I see a lot of people who love their jobs. I see some garbage collectors smiling as they go about their work.
You just suddenly think that there's something quite childish about acting. Basically, it's pretending, isn't it? It's good fun and I enjoy it, but it's a funny way of making a living, particularly when you make a very good wage, as I've been fortunate enough to do.
What's great about acting is you can let all your wackiness hang out while you work.
