If you are worried about what people think of you, you should go into politics. Real actors take chances.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're going to be that kind of actor and go way out there, it's really important to take care of yourself and have a safe place, whatever that is.
You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.
I don't consider myself specifically political, you know? I think of working as an actor as being a human thing. The concerns I have that fall into politics are human concerns.
I lack confidence as an actor.
You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.
It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.
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.
Politicians are actors, too, don't you think? Usually, if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics.
What's really interesting about actors, is that we all have opinions on how people's careers look, but I think you never have any idea of your own, or what other people think of you.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
