I don't feel secure at all. I don't know what actor would feel they've made it. I feel like I'm just starting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.
A lot of actors, and artists in general, never feel secure in love. They always feel everything's going to be taken away from them, professionally and personally; they're extremely emotional and volatile.
When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.
But I'm guessing every actor is insecure.
I think as an actor you have to be open to your emotions - that's how you tap into other characters. Besides, by being so open I've come to terms with how screwed I am!
Most actors are insecure enough already without having a director who adds to that.
All actors are incredibly insecure.
I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
As an actor, you can think your way out of a lot of good things sometimes. I trust my instincts as an actor, and I trust the instincts of the creators, so it's a good combination.
That is the most liberating thing to feel as an actor: that you don't have to hold back or be afraid. A bit might not work, but it doesn't matter.
