Acting, it's the disappearance of self, disappearance of your own needs and your own wants and the kind of embracing of the character that makes it work.
That's why there's so much bad acting out there, because you could see actors watching themselves.
I don't think most people understand acting, even the people who call themselves savvy, even actors.
If you're a boxer, you want to get the ring with a Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali type. When you're acting, you want to get in with Meryl Streep, and that's what I did.
It's always hard to be private in public, which is what acting is because you have to do thing really emotionally naked.
