ACTRESS

WHY DO I WANT TO ACT?
PERSONAL ESSAY

"My reason may not fill pages, but it most certainly fills in all the blanks. And yes, it is crazy enough to make me want to do it despite all that suggests me not to:

When I was younger, I used to imagine myself in the future, with another attitude and a different personality, with goals and hopes that weren't really mine. And after a while it struck me: The reason why I wanted to do so many things is that I found people, their lives and their jobs incredibly interesting. I like to observe and consider all facets; smallest facial expressions and gestures that make people who they are. 

My ability to process mannerisms and types of behavior detailedly and quickly makes me an individual who puts authenticity first - this made me realize that my true desire is to embody and recreate the versatile characters that I meet everyday and give them a new story.

I am what they call an extroverted introvert and I dread being in the center of all attention. But the way I see it, putting myself on the spot is the best way to find out who I am and I simply love the challenge that comes with it. When I am playing a part it feels like someone who grew out out of my soul took my place, used my voice and moved my body. Whoever that someone is can teach me more about myself.

Another simple, yet decisive realization is the following: I just love doing it. As Oscar Wilde once said, acting is so much more real than life - and less pretentious. As an actress, I get to listen and react honestly without being judged; to analyze and apply text; and to make it come alive. 

I truly believe that storytelling is about emphasizing the intimate truth of the character so the audience can find theirs.

I would like to make people feel understood: 

You could be a coldblooded murderer who killed his entire family and still cause tears. Compassion is never misplaced, whether one is giving it to a tyrant or a saint. To me, that is most captivating and I can’t think of anything better than acting in order to achieve my goal to fill this world with empathy.

I want to be the best actress I can be. Show up to work focused and deliver a precise and original performance.

I realize that I will have to work hard and be confident about what I do - and I am more than willing to do that. I have a dream and now I want to give it all I got. This is what I want to do with my life."
