I thought actors were artists and that artists had to be European.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just don't understand why more actors aren't artists.
I had to choose between American and British actors, and it didn't take me more than a second to decide: Russians are Europeans and should be played by other Europeans.
In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn't working, he's a bum.
Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think that's because we were trained - until now - in theatre.
Now, actors get so familiarized with Eastern Europe. I never imagined I'd get as familiar with Budapest and Prague and places like that in my life.
British actors behave like Europeans; they are also extremely well trained.
I don't like artists who are actors. I like artists, but I don't believe in that.
I'm an actor, but I'm an artist.
I think in Europe, movies are made like a commodity and then sold as art.
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
