Acting is a craft, and you need to study to be an actor.

Fake relationships and fake people coming up to me and all of a sudden wanting to be my friend.

I don't think my spirituality has affected my character. I feel like my character is much more cynical about his beliefs, and I think I have to kind of drop what I believe in order to play him.

I'm terrified of passive acquiescence. I live in intensity.
