“You can't worry too much about profile; otherwise, you become a different kind of actor, and that's not the kind of actor I want to be.” WantKindDifferentActorsWorryToo MuchDifferent KindsProfile Author:Anne-Marie Duff
“I think it helps to have a good old-fashioned trajectory, plodding along. Obviously one has an ego and it's really easy to have that ego tickled, but what helps me get through the night is if I concentrate on just quality of work so that I don't panic about my profile.” IfsThinkingHelpingNightEasyQualityEgoHelp MePanicOld FashionedProfileTrajectoryQuality Work Author:Anne-Marie Duff
“You want to have enough of a profile to be able to do all the work you can, but at the same time you want to have your own space. But there are a lot of actors who achieve it, a lot of movie stars even, people like Emily Watson and Cate Blanchett. They seem to be able to carry on with their lives and still produce wonderful, high-profile work.” PeopleWantStillsEnoughSeemsAbleActorsStarsSpaceWonderfulAchieveProduceMovie StarProfileWatsonEmilyHigh Profile Author:Anne-Marie Duff
“I think age is sometimes just a number. But it's a real joy. Young actors don't come with any of the baggage that we load ourselves up with. They're not worried about their profile, they're not worried about how good they look, or all the nonsense. They just tell the story and ask: "What happens in this scene?" Well, I'll do that then. And professionally it's good for you because it means that you're forced to do the same thing, and that's always a good thing.” ThinkingMeanRealSometimesAgeJoySceneGood ThingsWorriedNonsenseProfile Author:Anne-Marie Duff
