When I look at a character, I never look at the size of the role. I always look at the whole person, no matter how much they're featured in the movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.
Most actors are small, anyway - at least compared to me.
Fortunately, I get asked to play - regardless of how big or small they are - some really interesting people who are part of great stories. So, as an actor, there's really nothing better.
My size is an asset to me. People write roles for me. If I was just another blond-haired, brown-eyed, 18-year-old actor, I'd be left unrecognized. People remember me.
Even in the big movies, if the scenes are very big, I'm not fond of them as much as I'm fond of small actor scenes.
I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.
Any actor who is being honest will admit there's always a small or large part of the real you in every character. It's impossible not to have that.
You can read a character that feels amazing, but if the world around it and all the writing around it - even the way the stage descriptions are written - don't feel just right, then you know there's no point in doing the project. No character is ever bigger than the whole film.
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.
