I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I am so sensitive about not ever living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor who is well-known.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's damaging to know too much about a person, about an actor.
I find that the majority of the actors I've worked with are extremely sensitive people and very spontaneous people. That's why I always say I'll never date an actor, because they're in love with you one day and the next day they're not.
I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.
Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.
Actors don't get to be well-known if they're horrible.
I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'
I just hate the idea of being well known. I know that is almost impossible if you're an actor who has done okay, but I've always fought against it.
You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.
I admire a lot of actors, but I don't covet people's careers.
