I don't want actors to be writers. I think it's too much responsibility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
Actors want to act. I think a lot of times what happens is that they're expected to bring it all. Probably because I'm a writer, I'm not telling them what to do. I just provide them with as much as I can.
I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.
I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.
I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.
I don't believe that all actors should end up being directors.
The percentage of actors employed is pretty small, and if you're lucky enough to have a good run at it, you do have a sense of responsibility.
I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.
I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
