I try to allow the spirit of the character to live through me. That's the only way I know how to approach acting. I have to live it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting is a bit of a heart and soul exercise with me. It's kind of all I've got.
Acting has always been a way for me to express myself, and show all my vulnerabilities and flaws through my characters.
For me, acting goes to a special place; it's almost mystical. You have to let go of what you think is good; it's a jump into trust, and trying to reach without wanting too much.
Strive to be authentic all the time. That's sort of my philosophy on life, which applies to acting.
Acting is a work in progress for me. I just try to keep my mouth shut and my eyes and ears open, especially with the people I've worked with.
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.
It's sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you're dealing with.
I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me.
I don't think my approach to acting is all necessarily in service of the character. I think, selfishly, I've put it in service of myself, my perspective on the world and helping my life.
