For me, in some ways, my whole life is a bit performative and always has been - because I'm stared at and looked at everywhere I go.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating. Everything neutralises. It's more of a statement on society and how weird it is.
I love observing both vocally and by sight. So I take on a lot of those elements of people around me.
The most amazing thing is when you find yourself watching someone in the cafe or something doing something weird. It's amazing what people do, isn't it, when you just look at them, when you take the time to look.
I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.
It doesn't matter to me if I'm in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what's working and what's not. And I see the movies that I'm in in the theater a lot.
I find that the more I begin to look around, I see so much good that people do that goes unnoticed. So many wonderful things.
What it all boils down to for me is having the enthusiasm to do something for enjoyment and being stimulated by what's around you. That's what photography does for me.
I feel like with every performance that I see, I get better because I've always thought - while I'm watching people perform - of what I would do.
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me.
I look at everything in an artistic way.
