I can disappear into things very easily. But with acting, you have to be in the moment, and it gives me this incredibly fulfilling emotion: being really present.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
One of the things I love about acting is that I can enter into these other people's lives. But going back to being me at the end of the day is very important, too. That process of remembering who I am.
There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.
I've never felt terribly attached to acting because I always feel like the world is really big and really interesting, and there are a lot of places that I can put my energy and be fulfilled.
I like to disappear into a role. I equate the success of it with a feeling of being chemically changed. That's the only way I can express it.
Acting allows me the freedom to let go, to be in the moment, to be spontaneous. I no longer have the fear of losing, of failure.
For me, acting is about getting away from myself. So to look at myself is the last thing I want.
There are a lot of other things in this world that can and will bring me joy. Acting is one of them.
As an actor, I think you should always disappear a little. I act in order to lose myself.
I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.
