I have a really difficult time watching myself on film. I literally cower in my seat and cover my face.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once the film is done, then I like to watch myself. I know some actors say that they get very self-conscious watching themselves on screen especially if they have to cry in the scenes, they don't like the way their face contorts, but I have no such issues.
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.
I'm a pretty cliche actor in that I hate watching myself on film.
I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.
In a way I feel completely frightened of dealing with other human beings at all, yet here I am sticking my face in front of a movie camera all the time.
I can't bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can't stand the sight of myself.
Filming is always a challenge because I'm not used to it. But I approach it head-on. I'm not technically brilliant, but it's the spirit that counts.
I can't watch most of my work. Once I come on screen, all I can think of is 'What am I doing with my hands?' or 'Why did I lean that way?' or 'What's that look on my face?' It's too difficult to not focus on evaluating my acting.
I've very critical of myself, and film has been an adjustment for me.
