why i act...

on the first day of our acting technique class, our professor asked each of us why we acted.

a lot of people said they liked acting because they could get away from themselves for a little while, like an escape, and just be someone else. 

i never agreed with that. that's not why i do it. acting makes me feel more of myself than anything else. i do it because it makes me feel alive. i lose myself in another character, but it's my body that i use to release the expresssion.
