I think when actors run away from their work that they're slightly crazy, really!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To be honest with you, I get a little fed up with actors who act crazy to make themselves more interesting.
When you are dealing with something that's crazy, you still want actors to play characters and find the reality of the situation, no matter how absurd the situation is.
Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch, except that we get this sort of catharsis every six months or so, and we go and be absolutely someone else.
What I love most about acting is being able to play different types of personalities without being considered crazy.
All good actors are unpredictable, and a little crazy in a good way, because they feel more secure playing other people than themselves.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
I totally relate to Tom Cruise. He's not crazy, it's just the litany of the mid-life crisis.
I think most actors like to do things that are right outside of their comfort zone.
And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.
