Kristen S

I don't know where it comes from. I just want to achieve a certain feeling. You do have to be aware of what's coming out, because you're telling a story. You can't always lose yourself, although that’s when it's at its best. I don't have a lot of control over it because I'm not really the best technical actor. There are actors I've worked with who, at the drop of a hat, can pull out whatever they need to convey something. My most heightened emotional scenes have always snuck up on me. I've never been able to push a tear out. You have to have a faith that, because you love a part so much, what you're trying to do will find its way through you, but sometimes it doesn't. That happens to me all the time. I don't think I’m ever going to acquire that skill, and I'm pretty sure there will be times when people will get confused and say, "That's weird - she should have been so much better in that." But there will times in between where I'll get lucky.
