People say: 'Oh, it's only acting,' but it's not ever just acting. At least not with me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion.
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.
For me, acting comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don't act at all. I think that to feel the character's pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.
What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.
I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.
I was never really acting. I was not taking it seriously. Acting was very much a hobby for me. It wasn't really until I was finishing college and doing it sporadically that I began to take it seriously.
Acting is one of those things that anybody can do because no one can learn it, but only a few people can really do because it's nothing you can learn.
Acting is pretty much my whole life.
