If you listen to Barack Obama, if you listen to Hillary Clinton, they're portraying Donald Trump as this deep, dark, dividing, dank presence that sees America as dwindling away and failing and everybody's in bad shape. They think they're the paragons of optimism.
I've always been interested in a lot of the medieval art portraying people being tormented.
Hillary's [Clinton] been doing a good job of portraying [Donald] Trump as unqualified, not the right temperament.
I'm very particular who I work with. I'm not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I'm interested in a model who I can take a portrait of.
What I love to do requires portraying different characters, and you have to separate your life from the role.
Beautiful women seldom want to act. They are afraid of emotion and they do not try to extract anything from a character that they are portraying, because in expressing emotion they may encourage crow's feet and laughing wrinkles. They avoid anything that will disturb their placidity of countenance, for placidity of countenance insures a smooth skin.
I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen
As an actor, I'm limited to re-in acting someone else's vision or portraying a fictitious character.
I like to do my research, get in the right mental state for the person I'll be portraying. A lot of time, it's just incorporating a lot of what that person would be into, into my daily routine.
I know that might sound perverse because I played Julian Assange but, honestly, I don't think it would be fair for me to judge the man. I realize that makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was portraying him a certain way, but we were always open to the fact that this was an interpretation, not any kind of exact evidence of who the man was.
I have no way of portraying the lives of others. I portray my own.
I never really cared much for Hollywood or movies. But the curiosity for filmmaking, and expanding myself as an actor and my curiosity for people and portraying them, just has grown. And that's from simply being involved in the industry. But it was never a goal of mine as a kid.
I love portraying the totally indifferent person.
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.
There is a point in portraying surface vulgarity where tragedy and comedy are very close.
Acting makes me feel vulnerable. Especially depending on the type of emotion I'm portraying in a scene.
I feel like few things are more successful at portraying honest emotionsexperiences. There also just seems to be a certain feelingmood that I respond well to. I feel similarly about the artist Kahimi Karie and the films "An Education" and "Marie Antoinette. " Anything with a strongly and unapologetically feminine point of view I tend to be interested in.
If I look at the message I'm portraying, I think it definitely is be who you are, but be your best you.
What I really love, is finding a script and fantasizing and going to a different world and kind of portraying a character that is interesting. Because other lives interest us, that's why we read magazines like People and try and fascinate and drool over what other people are doing.
