I like both music and acting, and they both have a lot in common - timing, immediacy, stuff like that. But acting is more regimented. You wait around for hours, you don't get to write the script, you get hired. Music represents me better. I'm not acting; I'm just expressing myself. ↗

Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting. ↗

I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people. ↗
