I find performing very difficult. It's difficult to be a good actor. I get very nervous, even though it sounds disingenuous, because you could legitimately go, 'Well, why do it?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The hardest thing about being an actor, for me, is that if you are the 0.00001% of individuals who wants to do it, you're a freak. And you're an assertive freak. Though actors are often shy, there's this tremendous assertive extroversion in you somewhere.
The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.
The hard thing is making sure you work with wonderful people and that you get something out of it so that you can get better as an actor.
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
It's very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.
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.
I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.
I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart.
As an actor, you know there are things you get asked to do that you do quite well, with less effort.
I very rarely get nervous as an actor. Very rarely.
