All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
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.
Well, I always try to look at my characters as being better than I am. That's one of the reasons I guess I became an actor - because you get to create a persona that's bigger or better or more interesting than your own.
I'm just a character actor.
I consider myself a character actor.
When I realized that if I was an actor, I could be any character I wanted instead of just one particular, I was like, 'Wow, that's cool.'
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 always figure hey, look, I'm not a rock star, I'm an actor. I'm somebody who's meant to be other people and I'm not meant to be here representing myself. I'm happier when I'm presenting myself as other characters.
I do think I'm a character actor.
Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
