I think it's very important for people to not judge the people you're playing. You have to find a way to love them because their story is theirs. I just don't think there would be any use in that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't judge the people that you play anyway; you leave that for somebody else to do.
Once you're playing someone, you shouldn't be judging them in any way. That's what being an actor is - it's having empathy for people that are different from yourself. Once you've committed to that person, your responsibility is to tell that story.
I try genuinely, when I'm playing a character, to not judge them and just to inhabit someone as how one sees them. That being said, you also want to make sure that you don't blur the edges of people too much because humans are naughty and complicated beings.
I think if you find that you're making a judgment on the character, than your audience will make a judgment on the character.
You can't judge your characters or otherwise; it's not about you, it's about them.
When you're playing a character, as an actor or actress, you can't judge them for what they do. You really have to find what is in them that you have compassion for and fall in love with that character, regardless of what they do or how they behave.
You can't judge a character that you're playing, because then you're fighting against doing what the character's doing.
I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.
When you're playing a character, I think it's always better not to judge that character.
I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.
