I've always tried to kind of stretch my wings as an actor and do things that are different.
I have never tried to bind myself in some kind of an image on screen. I have always tried to do different things.
I have tried different things as an actor and have always believed in experimenting.
Things are changing. I've been training since I was 9 years old to stretch my wings as an actor dramatically, but have never really been afforded the opportunity to show that.
As I get older, I'm more willing to take on more, I guess. I feel more comfortable kind of being different characters and kind of stretching it a little more. Like with The Visitation. At least for me, being an actor, I have to draw from human experiences, so it was kind of a stretch playing that role. Kind of supernatural... kind of like what I did in The Crow actually.
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.
As an actor, you always look for things that will stretch you and that are different than you are, so that you can surprise yourself, and you want to surround yourself with the highest caliber of people that will make you look good.
I tried many different things before becoming an actor, so this is my plan B.
The only thing I have tried to do is be a part of different films and bring out a different side of me as an actor every time I play a character. I would like to be known as a versatile actor.
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.
I thought as an actor I have always tried different fields and I've done emotional films before too.
As an actor, I'm always so excited about those things that I get to stretch my legs and really get to do something that's hard to do.
I've always looked for roles that are different. I've tried to continue to challenge myself as an actor and work in varying styles of films.
You can't worry too much about profile; otherwise, you become a different kind of actor, and that's not the kind of actor I want to be.
I struggled with kind of fighting with the inner illnesses within myself where my psychological madness and I have always kind of struggled with different disorders and mental things and so the biggest thing that I was kind of always ashamed of or being embarrassed of was kind of that.
In reality, I've always been an actor - since I was a kid. I did theater growing up in New York. I was always in the plays in school. I was either going to be an actor or an athlete or a soldier. Those were kind of the three paths that I always kind of embarked on.
Going to college is an amazing opportunity to not only learn and be book-smart but also to kind of stretch your wings and expand yourself as a human and as an artist, whatever it is you're going for.
