I think with modelling and acting these days, the lines are blurred. Everyone can do all sorts of things, so why do just one?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it's the feel that matters.
Because modeling is lucrative, I'm able to save up and be more particular about the acting roles I take.
When you're modeling you're actually acting for the camera and the photographer. It's more fun, too because there are no lines to memorize.
Maybe there's some kind of modeling that can be tedious, like catalogue modeling, but there's a kind of modeling, with runways or working with Richard Avedon, that's not very far from acting. Besides the fact that you don't have a partner to react to, the body language is the same.
In modeling, because you're the center of attention, it builds up people's egos. Sometimes people lose touch with reality. But that happens with acting, too.
Acting is a bigger step into modelling in a way. Modelling is easier when you don't look like yourself. When you look like a different person, you feel different. Acting goes deeper into that; you have to move and talk like that character. I love it.
Modeling is a lot of fun, but I prefer acting. It's so much fun to get to play different characters and transform into someone else for a while.
With acting, if I'm any good at it, my modeling career would never be a hindrance but would rather be a help. And if I'm not, then it doesn't really matter.
You know one of the things about going from modeling to acting is it's so much more fulfilling. With modeling, you get your picture taken, which is great, good for you, you know? But in acting, you're able to reach in and show a little bit more of yourself.
Acting, it's very different. It's obviously very different and a lot more difficult than the modeling world I came from.
