The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you're always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You're always protected.

Ben WhishawI donโt think that actors are necessarily any more uncomfortable in their skin than anyone else. I suppose I feel more comfortable in my skin now, but youโre always playing a character, arenโt you? You tell different versions of yourself to different people and vice versa. Here, or in the photo shoot or wherever, itโs a representation of you. Itโs not you-you. Thatโs how you get through it.
