I feel like I learn in every project. — © Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I feel like I learn in every project.
Every project has to stand on its own. It's a different identity within each project, and I feel like that's the way it should be.
I feel like I leave every single project feeling like I didn't quite do as good as I wanted to do on it, and I have to just look forward to the next one to try and do better. Because you never quite hit the heights you have in your head for what you're going to do. But you learn something each time, which is important.
I try to just be open to what the next experience is and how it makes me feel, just reading a project, or trying to get involved with a project, or thinking about a project, and what particular emotional flavor that brings. To me, it's never really about planning the next thing, or the career arc. It's about investigating how I feel, from project to project, and finding things that I haven't explored and what that would be like.
You learn something from everything you do. With every project I've ever done, I've always treated it like I'm still in school.
I feel like every project I've ever done has had music involved in it somehow.
When I do photo shoots for men's magazines, I don't do lingerie, I don't do skimpy bikinis because I feel like, for young women, setting the standard of you can be sexy as hell, but you don't have to have your ass hanging out. Just me personally, I just don't feel that its necessary to project sexy. I feel like I can project that from the inside out. I can wear something a little sexy, but I don't need to take it to that next level.
You know, I've never been much of a method actor. I feel like, with every project I go in extremely prepared and I like to have a good time.
Every project I do, I learn something new.
Every time you do a project, you learn something new.
The main reason for choosing a project is not really the renown of the director that's making the project. I feel like it's the fact of an actor to constantly want to do different things.
I feel like life is so special and so great, every year I feel like I learn more, and I grow, and I think it's exciting to grow up.
With every project, you feel like you're trying to find your place to vent. For any actor, that's typically the feeling that drives you to do it.
There's a reason why every successful person in Hollywood has like seven or eight projects up in the air at any point. It's like a 90 percent chance for each project that it'll never happen. Every project has about a 10 percent chance of getting made, unless you're like a Quentin Tarantino or somebody who just gets whatever they want to get done. But those are the rare cases.
Every project you do, you hope you learn something more as an actor.
The more I act, the harder it gets, since I feel like I still have so much to learn. Whenever I embark on a new project, it always feels like the first time. If it were easy to me and I felt like I knew everything, my acting might have been different. I think the feeling of 'newness' keeps me on my toes and concentrated.
Every project you're involved in and any character that you're invested in ... you learn a message from that experience. I know that sounds a little cheesy, but it's true. Its kind of funny the parallel that I drew from that, you kind of learn something and you get to apply it to the next thing.
