Actors go inside the heads of other people and are not afraid of the complicated places you can find yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, it's up to you to show that you can do something else. For me, the interesting actors don't always go where you expect to find them.
People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can't get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.
There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.
Acting was a way of me finding myself, which I think is the case of a lot of actors, regardless of where they come from.
As an actor, you tend to live in a really small world, which is not very healthy. It is enriching to go to new places, meet different people know and learn about things which you didn't know about.
If you're not careful as an actor, you can find yourself, at a certain point, a little bit bored.
I think knowing where you can generally fit is important, but the fun thing about being an actor is sometimes stretching beyond that stereotype and stretching beyond the box that people put you in.
Oftentimes, actors don't have the luxury of picking their part. You go from one project to the next, and you hope that you find one that fits you and that you're suited for, and then they see that you're fit for it.
People don't realise what a nice thing it is for an actor to go to a job where they know or like everybody, because you're so often having to do new beginnings, starting off on set with people you don't know, having to introduce yourself and make friends.
The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.
