Doing acting opened up other creative outlets; it made me feel freer as an artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
I've always been a creative person since I was young. I enjoyed art, museums, plays, but it wasn't until I was about 10 that my mother encouraged me to choose a career, and it was acting.
Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
I knew I was artistic, and I wanted to do something in the arts.
As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
I think it's much richer and much more fun to be an artist than to be anything else. I can't think of a better life than acting.
For me, acting is all about the aesthetic. I just want to keep honing my craft. Not that I'm taking myself too seriously, but every artist should consider himself Picasso. Otherwise, you're doing yourself an injustice.
As a kid, I was into music, played guitar in a band. Then I started acting in plays in junior high school and just got lost in the puzzle of acting, the magic of it. I think it was an escape for me.
What drives me is to still feel creative and like I'm pushing myself as an artist.
