Actors have to stay optimistic. The moment we start thinking otherwise, we're dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.
A lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we're saving people's lives or something.
As an actor, you always think that whatever job you have is going to be your last. In some way, shape or form, you think you're going to screw it up and you're never going to work again.
Actors are trusting souls, and we must go by gut-level instinct, even after our agents and business managers weigh all the odds.
I think every actor would wish there is some challenge that is left. I would consider to be creatively dead if I were to say that I am satisfied now.
I'll miss the relationships I have built with these actors. I'll miss the devotion we have to this work. Over this length of time, the tendency is to think it will never end.
I'm now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies.
Sometimes, as actors, we feel like we want to hold on and control where a character goes.
I know a lot of actors have all these expectations and believe that one thing should lead to another thing, and that's probably the right way to build a career. I don't know what's wrong with me - I just don't think like that!
Actors are always the last to see what they have created.
