I've never understood why you would turn down a great role.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would only take a role that I know I'm comfortable in and I can do. I've turned down plenty of things because I'd feel it's not me, and I wouldn't want to come on someone's project and flip that.
I don't think I've ever had a real desire to pick out any particular role - I just see what comes up.
I kept turning down roles because I knew I just wasn't ready for them.
If a role has been too one-dimensional, I have turned it down.
Why people pick me for the roles that they do is a bit of a mystery.
When you get a role, you completely lose yourself in it. That's one of the great things about acting - letting yourself go.
Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in.
I've been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I've later regretted.
If I had my way, I would never do a leading role.
I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren't good enough.
