About This Quote

When we play a character in a movie or read a book we really put ourselves into that character's shoes. We try to experience what that character would experience and share their emotions. Many actors and actresses portray characters that are much different from themselves. They portray the parts of their personality that they don't usually display.

However, they do not pretend to be something they are not. They usually portray the true emotions of the characters they portray.
