As an actor, we are, in a way, a mirror of other people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm an actor, and I'm supposed to reflect real people.
What we are as actors, for better and for worse, is visible.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am?
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.
As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.
As an actor, you are either emulating someone else, or some version of yourself.
Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
We're actors. We're the opposite of people.
