It is hard for me to be vulnerable, because I never learned how to do that. I was never vulnerable in a safe way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't allow yourself to be vulnerable.
Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.
For me, being able to be vulnerable is difficult, but it's just something that I feel comfortable doing. I need to fully understand why, the thought-process behind the character and I have to believe it. That comes from a lot of preparation.
I actually think it's harder to play vulnerability, because you're having to delve deeper into portions of your own psyche, what it is that makes you human.
Being vulnerable is allowing yourself to trust. That's hard for a lot of people to do. They feel a lot more secure if they kind of put walls around themselves. Then they don't have to trust anybody but themselves.
The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.
Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.
In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.
I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable.
It didn't scare me to be vulnerable because I think that's when you get something great.
