After doing so many different roles, if you don't stretch yourself, there's no excitement left.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like doing roles that stretch me.
You don't pass up roles that give you the opportunity to stretch and to grow.
As an actor, I'm always so excited about those things that I get to stretch my legs and really get to do something that's hard to do.
But to be part of helping create a character and be a part of something from the beginning - the excitement of it - it doesn't get any better.
It could get saturated or monotonous if I would do the same characters again and again. That is why, to save myself from that feeling, I take time out to choose roles that excite me.
With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.
I left everything I had to become an actor. So, I better be excited, or otherwise, there is no point in doing all this. Else I would end up being disappointed with whatever I achieve.
The excitement of stepping onto a stage - there's nothing quite like it.
I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I've never had a role where I wasn't intimidated by it.
The only day I will worry is if I stop getting exciting roles. As an actor, I have so much to give. There's a lot of fire and hunger in me to juice every part that I get.
