I'm an instinctual actor. I don't really talk about it. Usually if I get a script and I'm having trouble with it, I go to sleep and I dream about it because I'm super internal with the way I work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most actors will tell you they have some sort of dream of doing something other than what they're doing.
Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else's dream.
Acting is the ability to dream on cue.
I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.
As an actor, you can think your way out of a lot of good things sometimes. I trust my instincts as an actor, and I trust the instincts of the creators, so it's a good combination.
I've been quite lucky in that I've managed to tick off a few of my dream roles, really. Beyond that, you wait for the next script to come in that will have the dream role that you don't know exists yet, I suppose.
Every role I do is a dream role for me because I can't imagine I'm doing it.
My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.
I'm not an instinctive actor.
I don't have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.
