As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't put the pressure on myself to be a very successful movie star. I want to enjoy being an actor and I want to be challenged by the roles I take.
Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.
I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.
When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.
If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.
Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.
I have made a promise to myself that I will have no limitations as an actor. I have realised I have to pay attention to the commercials or the business aspect of cinema, but deep inside, I am purely an artiste.
The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
