I had a really great experience so far with film acting. And most experiences from most actors, I've heard, are not like this. But I want a career that has many disciplines and many options.
Film acting is one of the only industries where you're criticized for working hard. In any other industry, it's considered a quality and something to behold.
The difference - the fundamental difference between theater acting and film acting is that film acting is disjunctive.
Every time I've crossed to a new level of film acting, the film has been a breakthrough project.
The foundation for film acting is stage acting.
The only people who have doubts about the sincerity of my music are people who come to it relatively late, off the back of having seen me in a film. Acting is about being other people, and music is about being myself.
Here is something no real celebrity will ever tell you: film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the director's eyes, you 'get it right' does not allow for very much creative freedom... In terms of sheer adrenaline, film has absolutely nothing on theater.

I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
That's the thing about film acting and television acting. You just release yourself and do what is true for the moment, and ignore everybody and everything and all the technical razzmatazz that goes on.
