Being an actor means asking people to look at you. i guess i accept that. but it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. you may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself.

More From Ralph Fiennes

I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. you have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. for an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. i find it's a great thing.

Part of an actor's job is to actually adopt the world-view of the character she is playing and to tell the story from that vantage point. if an actor represses large aspects of their personality, they will have a severely limited range and castability. great actors cultivate effortless access to their subpersonalities. many acting teachers call this 'freeing your instrument.'

Science begins with the world we have to live in, accepting its data and trying to explain its laws. from there, it moves toward the imagination: it becomes a mental construct, a model of a possible way of interpreting experience. the further it goes in this direction, the more it tends to speak the language of mathematics, which is really one of the languages of the imagination, along with literature and music. art, on the other hand, begins with the world we construct, not with the world we see. it starts with the imagination, and then works toward ordinary experience.
