A Quote by Meryl Streep

If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try. — © Meryl Streep
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.
People think I am confident, natural. I hope I portray that on-screen.
My character, Charlotte, is very confident, and I try to be more like my character in real life. Not that I'm not confident, but I've really found my personal growth through work.
While I don't know who will eventually be selected, I think Kangana Ranaut can portray me perfectly on screen, I like her as an actress.
All I try to do is as earnestly and as acutely as I can, conceive a character and try to portray this character just honestly. If the humor is within the absurdity and the awfulness of situations, then let it be seen that way.
It is a tough job to portray a character and make it believable on screen.
I wish I was more like my character. In character, I am the queen. I am strong. I am confident, sometimes cocky. I'm hard to beat. Out of character, I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a best friend and just the girl next door that likes Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Actors are here to perform various kind of roles and we represent some another character. You can't judge us by what we portray on screen.
When you try to portray people's lives, you try to make sure you don't portray them as clowns and that you give them a level of dignity. You don't try to change their persona, but you try to understand that they had unique problems, set in a century that you don't live.
My approach is always the same. I try to be as honest as possible. Find the real honesty and humanity in the character because even a fictional character is supposed to feel real. And my job is to find that reality and bring it to the screen.
As an actor, I am extremely fortunate to portray Milkha Singh on the big screen.
Firstly, I am not a comedian. I have a sense of doing comedy but I am a character artist. If the character in the film is a comedy than I can portray it. But, I am not a comedian.
I do not want to work to stay busy. I want to feel excited and challenged with each character that I portray on-screen.
Even though the 'Shooter' character on TV is so close to the real-life me, I'm still playing with ways to creatively portray that character.
I believe in method acting. Whenever I'm working on a character, I start behaving like him. I start doing these things which the character would normally do. Maybe that's the way I function as an actor, and I believe in it. And that's how I try and portray a character.
It was very difficult acting. I feel it is a very tough job to portray someone else's character and to behave like that on screen.
Even if I delete something, I know somebody probably will have a screen shot. I portray myself how I want people to view me.
