The minute you start making calculations about what people will think of you as a person based on your work as an actor, you're on the road to becoming a bad one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
You're an actor - people judge you and criticize you, and praise you and say you're great in equal measure.
Actors, by nature, are insecure. I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. It is good to question yourself, be self-analytical. You get a better performance if you challenge yourself. If you go around thinking you're great, you're never going to challenge or scare yourself.
When I do things that aren't very good, I'm worse as an actor. I don't know what I pick up - but it's something not very nice.
People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.
As an actor, you're trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you're working with.
Life as an actor has toughened me up, and I've learned that you shouldn't take things too personally. Someone once said that to do this job you need talent, luck and a thick skin - which is so true.
I think as an actor, you're constantly putting yourself out there, and a lot of times failing - and failing in front of a bunch of people - and sometimes you have a good moment and something clicks.
The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.
As an actor, if you decide that someone is bad... you can't play bad, because even the worst person doesn't think what they're doing is bad.
