Actors are hard to photograph because they never want to reveal who they are. You don't know if you're getting a character from a Chekhov play or a Polanski film. It depends what mood they're in. ↗

I don't want to know about the lives of other actors and I don't want people to know too much about me.

That's the point, they can create these other characters and I can believe them. ↗
