What you learn from studying acting is that you have to have the courage to just make strong choices.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.
You know, back in acting school they always teach you, 'Make bold choices and look for activities that are interesting.'
The wonderful thing about acting is that you can use all of your talents and interests in your work.
In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.
You can always keep learning with acting, because the school is life and yourself and your friends and your relationships. I'm fascinated by it! It's infinito!
You don't learn acting, you nourish it. I don't regret not going to drama school because I was very afraid of all the lessons. I'm allergic to technicality.
I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.
As an actor, you look for roles that can constantly challenge you and you can learn from.
When you start out acting, you dream of getting an agent and getting a job. For years, you audition and you get what you can. Choice isn't something that you have much of.
I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.
