I think my confidence has developed over the years in terms of the speed at which I will reveal how collaborative I want to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
I would say I'm 90 percent collaborative in everything I do, and 10 percent of the time I just make the call.
There is something about me that is collaborative, that wants to get the best performance out of somebody else or to hear something that somebody else has done that's good and to try and make it great.
I'm really interested in the collaborative thing. It's what makes it scary because you never know what it's going to end up like. But you hope. You put yourself in the hands of the best people you can find, and you're completely dependent on the kindness of strangers and their commitment. It's like this mutual delusion.
But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
It's hard to make something collaboratively. That's the challenge. Sometimes you're successful.
I am confident only when I am constantly in motion. Between projects, the doubt creeps in.
I would like to believe that I am a collaborative actor. That's why I love all the directors I have worked with in recent times, as they are all collaborative directors. I think my constant desire is to keep bettering my own work. I don't get easily satisfied with my work; I am very critical of it. I learn from my mistakes.
I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project, but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director, the actor I'm working with.
I have always had confidence in my own ability.
