I felt like a fake the whole time and it made me very, very nervous - which is why I have such great respect for actors, because I can't do what they do. I really can't do it. I'm always uncomfortable. And I'm just grateful that I recognized that this uncomfortable-ness was a sign that I shouldn't be doing it.

And the thought of being somebody other than myself was impossible for me.

One may for a time have a good reputation and a bad character, or the reverse ; but not for long.
