That's what I always enjoyed about acting, the real adrenalin rush. My heart - still before I go on stage - crashing out of my chest. That's thrilling to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting gives me an adrenalin rush I don't get from anything else.
There's that great thing about acting - you're wearing your heart on your sleeve, and you're speaking off the cuff. You know, you're fearless about it, and - and it's great. And I love it.
All actors know that the real adrenaline rush is in doing theatre. There is an immediate connect, and a role in a play, for an actor, is the biggest temptation.
Acting is a bit of a heart and soul exercise with me. It's kind of all I've got.
When I'm on stage, I feel alive. It's the most rewarding feeling an actor can live.
For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.
I started out in theatre, and there's no better feeling than the adrenaline of being on stage.
What I love about acting is that you are exposed to so many different things. Horse-riding, sailing, travelling to amazing places.
I'm one of relatively few stage-trained actors who doesn't much like acting on stage. It feels kind of like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which I did when I was eight. When it was all over, I was glad I had done it, but most of the time when it was actually happening, I was just kind of hanging on for dear life.
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.
