I don't like getting people upset, so that's not my goal. But I like putting people in situations where how they respond says a lot about them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People don't just get upset. They contribute to their upsetness.
I would rather people take me as straightforward and not have to wonder if I'm kidding or not. Because what I have to say, and what I'm interested in doing and communicating, is worthwhile enough that I don't want to muck it up with people being confused about where I'm really coming from.
I do say things in a way that is going to elicit a response from people.
People take things too personally - I don't. If someone says something about me, I let it go. But unfortunately, everyone isn't like that. So I'm trying to be more diplomatic - but people always want a headline from me!
You can say whatever you want about me, I'm not really bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, then that's a problem.
I always try to think of positive things to say about the people I portray, as it's more helpful for me.
In order to maintain that fire for acting and capture its essence, you can't let yourself be concerned with what people have to say about you. You just can't.
I exaggerate when I'm angry, but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me.
I don't really care if people get upset. I think I'm doing my job if people get upset; I want them to think! We all want them to think, hopefully.
I like visceral writing that people can't help but respond to, even if they respond, and they're shocked, or they're angry, or they're offended. I think that's the only way to reach people.
