When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.
I'm a pretty cliche actor in that I hate watching myself on film.
I've very critical of myself, and film has been an adjustment for me.
I have a really difficult time watching myself on film. I literally cower in my seat and cover my face.
I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.
When I'm a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It's somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.
When I'm acting in a film that I'm not producing, I stay to myself.
I don't find it hard to direct myself. I can easily think of me as a horrible performer or a good performer. I work with actors who cannot stand watching or looking at themselves, which is not my case. I can have an eye and perspective on whether I'm terrible or good enough for me.
I have no desire to direct at all. I know how much pressure it is, and, trust me, it's so much easier and so much more fun to be an actor.
If I don't direct a movie at some point, I've failed personally.
