I have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
I am pretty hard on myself. But I think that's how it has to be if you want to keep growing as an actor.
My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.
I don't have a burning desire to act, strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
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.
I always tell young actors to have a back-up. You don't want to find yourself at the age of 30 still struggling to make a living out of acting.
I've played a lot of roles I haven't wanted to play, either because they needed someone in the theatre or because they couldn't do it without me 'cause they don't have anyone else the right age.
I enjoy acting more and more than when I was 17.
I think I've had more of a variety in what I've done than most actors.
