Liev Schreiber is obtaining honest concerning what he’s discovered popularity throughout the years, claiming that it alone will not make individuals absolutely happy.
The Emmy-nominated star cooperated a meeting with Haute Living publication, released online Thursday, that after years in the show business, he recognized the relevance of functioning on jobs that he’s in fact enthusiastic concerning.
“I work for hire, as they say, and like to make money,” he clarified.“I have a growing family. The older I get, the more I think I want it to matter when I work. Of course, it doesn’t always — in fact, it rarely does — but it’s nice when it does, when one of your jobs means something to people. That feels good, like the job does what it was supposed to do in the beginning, which is to connect you to people.”
The Perfect Pair star included,“When you’re young, you think that’s what being famous will do, make you happy, make you desired. And then you realize that’s not the case.”
Though some might presume Schreiber is a certain individual, specifically after functioning on lots of jobs in between the large and tv and Broadway, consisting of Macbeth, RKO 281, Planet City, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Defiance, Ray Donovan and Scream, he confessed that it’s not that straightforward. “I’m only truly confident with characters,” he stated.
“So much of my own personal journey has been getting over that attachment to not sucking, not being bad at something,” the star clarified.“Which is funny, because the whole principle of acting is that to be good at it, you have to be willing to make a fool of yourself. You have to be willing to be a jackass.”
He proceeded, “You forget that sometimes, because when you do something for a while, people think you’re good or attractive — something you want to be in real life — but it was just a character that you created. I think that’s the problem with fame; you start to believe your own press. A real career in the arts is about trying to figure out identity. My consistent hang up has been this thing about not wanting to suck, about trying to be smart and to elevated, so it was an exciting thing to do the play because it felt like a risk, just like The Perfect Couple did.”
