I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don't we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whenever any actor comes into a producer session, they have so many questions, and we still can't really tell them that much until they get the job.
I think that it's important that actors keep getting challenged every day. For every creative person, it's a terrible moment when they say they have done all they want to do.
Actors are conditioned to develop a system for expressing as much as they can in the shortest amount of time because you're going to get all cut up in a movie.
Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions you'd rather not know the answers to.
Actors want to surprise themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely.
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.
The way that actors talk about acting is generally quite punishing, and I think actors want to put forward the idea that they do all of this work because, you know, it's a post-De Niro world, when, largely, in fact, it's almost never true.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
I know every actor says this, but the people behind the camera are great. They always have answers.
