I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
I've tried most of my career to transform myself towards characters.
I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.
I'm happy being myself, which I've never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn't have those things in mine.
Throughout my rapping career, I always cooked for myself and anyone I worked with. It's what actually kept me grounded through those crazy years.
I usually have a sense of where my characters are personally and ways in which they might transform throughout the novel. But I never know at the outset how the book will end, nor do I ever stick to my original plan.
I am so lucky that throughout my career I've been able to play such different characters.
I've played a heroin addict and a speed freak and dark characters throughout my career.
I test the limits of myself in order to transform myself, but I also take the energy from the audience and transform it.
I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
I guess I reinvented myself about 18 times throughout my career.
One thing that's great about having kids, especially given my career, is that it forces you out of your narcissism. I mean, I'm in a career where my product is me. So it was nice to have something, someone, come along and take the focus off me. I really needed to give myself some distractions from myself.
Frank was an example throughout my career at Chelsea, and throughout my career as a midfielder. When it comes to scoring goals as a midfielder, you look at Frank Lampard as a role model.
That's been kind of a mantra for me my entire career and something that I think every coach throughout most of my basketball career has told me: I've got to continue, every night, to try to stay aggressive and assert myself.
I find myself speaking through the other characters, putting ideas in their voices and heads. Writing almost becomes a splitting of myself into multiple personalities. But I don't write to make an argument on behalf of any of the characters, or to prove anything about a character. I think that's important that I be serving the story first and not my own point of view.
~Before, my career came first. All I had to think about was myself. Now my children prevail. It doesn't mean my career is less important; I just have to position things differently.~
We've been through about a million different line-ups throughout our career.
