The actor has a constant problem of personal identity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, you're always playing different people, so you yourself are always kind of going through an identity crisis.
I think as an actor... I don't like to compare a character to anybody else, just because I respect other people's work, and I want that character to have his own identity.
I think actors are attracted to the idea of other identities and concealing themselves behind some other identity.
An actor is like a piece of clay: you just keep moulding me. Even people who work with you every day want to put you in a little box.
It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal.
Sometimes you need to put your own characteristics into the actor, and you take different things from the character that you admire - sometimes you can't see the boundaries anymore.
As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
As an actor, you never try to be someone else. You can't.
Actors are there to represent the human condition back to itself. It's never about the actor. It's about the content. That's what I strive for in my work.
