“As an actor playing a character, you look for all of those avenues to see if there's any sense of vulnerability or love that you can bring to a character, and decide how that's portrayed and how that's going to be a struggle with the other characters. It's your job to take that on and challenge yourself, and meet that head on and see what happens with it.” IfsLooksCharacterHappensJobsActorsChallengesStruggleVulnerabilityAvenuesChallenge Yourself Author:David Boreanaz
“If you can't fail then how can you possible develop as a communicator or as a creator of anything? We are locked into a deeply unhealthy notion that somehow you've got to succeed all the time. An appalling notion. Any painter or writer will tell you that that is no way to proceed. One of the things that will kill off a decent actor, especially a young actor early on and they will never recover from it, is too much success. It's disastrous. You stop being criticized, therefore you stop challenging yourself. You then can't afford to fail because there's too far to fall.” IfsWayYoungArtistFallActorsChallengesToo MuchFailingSucceedNotionCreatorPainterDecentLockedSuccess And FailureUnhealthyYoung ActorsCommunicatorsChallenge Yourself Author:Emma Thompson
“But as an actor you do want to challenge yourself and step outside what you have done in the past and that what I like to do, I like to jump around and try different things and stretch myself.” WantTryingDifferentDonePastActorsChallengesStepsDifferent ThingsChallenge Yourself Author:Mary Elizabeth Winstead
