As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.
I'm a character actor and I get lost in these characters, so I think it's only recently that people have begun to connect dots and go, 'Oh, that's the same person that did this, this, this, this and this!' which I take as a compliment.

The biggest compliment I think an actor can get is I can't imagine anyone else in the role.
The biggest compliment I get is that I don't sound like anybody else. I think I value that as the highest compliment.
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'
The character is what trips you up - the thing of, "I'm going to get so dark in this character that I'm going to get lost in a character." You can't get lost in a character. You can only think you're lost in a character.
I love making people uncomfortable, and when people say, 'I cringed watching [that] scene,' that's the biggest compliment you can give me.

I think the biggest backhanded criticism-compliment I get is that I'm 'good at communicating.' Which implies that you're bad at doing.
The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite. You should feel like the people who are watching care about you. This is something we can try to give each other – the feeling that eyes signal support, not disdain.
I have lots of people tell me I'm beautiful and ask if I'm a model, but the biggest compliment I got was a fan came up to me and said, 'You're the best female technical wrestler.' That's the one compliment that sticks out.
When I started playing in Sweden, there was nobody watching. No one knew who I was, so I was just playing for the love of the game.
