“I try to keep away from being bigheaded. That's what causes people to lose the acting thing. They start being commercial, and then they stink the rest of their life. But there are several respected adult actors who were child actors that started very young. I'm going to try to model myself after Kurt Russell and Jodie Foster. Just keep learning from the role and not just go for the money.” PeopleTryingChildrenYoungActorsCausesLosesActingRolesModelsAdultsStinkKeep LearningChild Actors Author:Haley Joel Osment
“I think the best models are actors, you're taking on a character. In that sense, I have been acting for a long time. It didn't seem like a crazy transition. Acting is a bigger step into modelling in a way. Modelling is easier when you don't look like yourself. When you look like a different person, you feel different. Acting goes deeper into that, you have to move and talk like that character. I love it.” ThinkingWayFeelsLooksPersonsLongHas BeensDifferentCharacterSeemsMovingActorsActingStepsCrazyLike YouEasierLong TimeModelsBiggerDeeperTransitionLike YourselfModelling Author:Liberty Ross
“To the extent to which the pull that moves me really is irresistible, like an invincibly strong addiction, the normal procedures of evaluation, deliberation, choice, decision, etc. that constitute the substance of our political life are not operating.
