I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.
Obviously there are times with acting when exactly what is required is just going through the motions, and when doing nothing is the best thing. But at other times, you have to make that leap beyond the immediate environment of people putting up lights on the set.
In terms of work, obviously acting is such a job that is very in the flesh kind of thing. It's your work, but it's your life, in a way. You can get so mixed up.
Acting is acting.
Acting is what happens on the way.
As an actor, acting is like playing a sport. You do this thing that's intangible, and while it's happening, it's great. But then when it's done, there's really no tangible product. Someone else is capturing it and turning it into something tangible.
The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.
I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.
Acting is a sport, like a game of tennis, and you and your opponent take turns setting the level of play.
Acting is very much an all-or-nothing job.
