I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.
There was a period when I really had to ask myself, 'What does acting mean to me?' I'm not someone who's content being famous, with that whole lifestyle. I had to realize I could find a balance between what I like to do and what people think you're 'supposed' to do as an actress.
The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.
You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.
I think the beautiful thing about acting is you don't really know who you are. You're able to be whatever you want any day during the week. So I really couldn't see myself being anything else.
I don't just act, and that's really important to me. I don't want to just be an actor forever.
If I want to act, I'm gonna act. And if I consider myself an actor, that's all that matters to me.
I love acting. It's what I do, not what I am.
I think that some people like to be someone other than themselves when acting, while others are most themselves. I fall into the second camp. For me, acting is a great exercise in getting to the truth about myself.
Acting is pretty much my whole life.
