For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it.
I see myself as a character actor, and I've always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I've never been that comfortable playing people that are like me.
A part of being an actress that is sort of frustrating is that the writers get to tell you about your character.
In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it. Either the character helps you discover that element of you or the other way around, where that element of you helps you discover the character.
You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.
As an actor, you wouldn't be able to play a character if you were worried about the reaction to what you're doing.
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
Well, I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.
As actors, we are always playing other characters. It's so exhausting and time consuming to figure them out, so when you get the time to be yourself, you should take it.
