The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modeling is the opposite of real. It's being fake in front of the camera.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With modelling, you provide an image that is fake; with acting you have to provide an image that's real.
You know, everyone says, 'Modeling and acting are so similar'... they say, 'It's so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.' I don't think of it in that way.
Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it's the feel that matters.
You know one of the things about going from modeling to acting is it's so much more fulfilling. With modeling, you get your picture taken, which is great, good for you, you know? But in acting, you're able to reach in and show a little bit more of yourself.
In modeling, because you're the center of attention, it builds up people's egos. Sometimes people lose touch with reality. But that happens with acting, too.
Acting is a bigger step into modelling in a way. Modelling is easier when you don't look like yourself. When you look like a different person, you feel different. Acting goes deeper into that; you have to move and talk like that character. I love it.
With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.
Modeling is a lonely business... You don't speak. You don't really portray anything but an image... the business is so superfluous about dealing with the outside, it messes with your mind.
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
Acting, it's very different. It's obviously very different and a lot more difficult than the modeling world I came from.
