It's interesting to play a role where you don't really have to preoccupy yourself with any need to convince yourself that you're not acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's one of the great things about acting - you get to pretend you're somebody else, which is great if you get bored with yourself.
I've always found that acting has been quite a hard thing to pre-manage because so much of it is spontaneous and the circumstances so uncontrolled.
There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
The hardest part of acting is not when I'm acting, It's when I'm not.
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
When you get a role, you completely lose yourself in it. That's one of the great things about acting - letting yourself go.
For me, personality acting is not that interesting. I don't want to just be myself.
In life, you have to keep certain parts of yourself in check because you want to be a decent human being. But one of the guilty pleasures of acting is that sometimes you get to let a little something out that you don't in life because it's not right.
Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.
The secret to acting is don't act. Be you, with add-ons.
