In acting, you can always grow and get better - even if you think you're at your limit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think personal growth has much to do with acting ability.
You get better as an actor over time if you're growing. Like singers.
I know what my limitations are as an actor, but my strength is putting myself into a well-written part. When I get in trouble is when I have to fix it, or when I have to carry it on personality.
Acting is a craft to me: I just think you get better the more you do it. And then the irony to that is your doing it is not in your control. If it was up to most actors, we'd work all the time, and we'd always get better. But it's not in our control, so we have to wait to be given parts to do.
Really, acting is like anything else. The more time you put in, the more you learn and the more you can give back to the industry.
With acting, you are a small part of the creative process, and sometimes it is hard to feel like you are making an impact.
With acting, I've always gotten by in life acting in situations. I'm a small person. I didn't have a chance to be a bully. But I could always act myself out of tough situations.
When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.
In acting, you have to pull from real-life situations, from people, to help develop a character.
In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.
