When you really get it right in acting, it's an act of empathy. You feel less distant from others, and that is really exciting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.
Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.
At the heart of any drama, there's conflict. When you are acting, you get to play out the confrontations you want to have in real life but can't. Or the emotions that you would want to have in real life, but sometimes they are too difficult.
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
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.
For me, acting comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don't act at all. I think that to feel the character's pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.
Acting is exciting. It is different every time you do it.
The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.
People are really emotionally affected by actors. And it's hard to know how to behave in a way that doesn't impose or withdraw. Because everybody wants your attention. Everywhere you go, you know?
Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.
