I don't like having characters as props. I never want a character to be a prop.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm afraid I don't have a very pragmatic or unromantic view of props. I don't imbue them with any great sense of mystery or anything.
A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.
You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.
Whether you need to like a character, I don't think that's necessary in order to portray him.
You can perform all kind of characters but you cannot change what people feel for you.
I don't like sympathetic characters.
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
I was ashamed to admit I was hipped to the idea of acting. That's why I started in with the props.
I never act my characters - I am them.
I like to add props to render the specificities of place - paintings, food, clothing, signs, infrastructure, music, sayings and slang particular to the region and particular to the character. And props shouldn't just sit there; they should get used.
