When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.
I think that's why I'm an actor: so I can tell those stories without having to really live through those stories with real consequences and real stakes, real responsibility.
Actors sure have stories. We always have stories. At the end of our careers, all we have to take with us is our stories, and we have many of them.
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.
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
As an actor, that's the best thing you can do, really take people along on a story and tell them something.
It's a challenge, writing about actors, especially a good actor, because you can't always tell when they're being honest and when they're pretending - that is, when they're acting. The really good ones don't always seem to know themselves.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.
