Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can't really be like that.

Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there's nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice. It's that same thing that you feel when you watch yourself on a video camera and you hate the sound of your voice - it's that times 800.
