Stephanie Beatriz Quotes

People tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.

As an actor, or as a person, I like to do things that are challenging.

I'm not gonna play a part that doesn't instill some kind of fear in me. If I read a part, and suddenly, I'm thinking halfway through, 'I'm not sure I could get away with this,' I think of everything I can think of to keep me from doing it, that's the one I should do.

As an actor, I think sort of relish the chance to take a leap and sort of put yourself out there. You know, it's, like on any film, you just have to be willing to embarrass yourself, because otherwise you are not going to really reveal anything that you have. So I think it's exciting.

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.

I don't really feel comfortable unless I'm slightly uncomfortable. I don't want to play myself all the time.

When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.

Here's the thing: If you're taking roles that aren't intimidating you, and I think this is a cliche that a lot of actors say, but if it's not intimidating you, then why are you doing it?

I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.

To be able to work with actors who are doing such good work, not only makes it easier for you, but it makes you better.

As an actor, you should be willing to take challenges.

I want to do films that challenge me. I want to do what the actors I look up to are doing - the Gary Oldmans and Daniel Day-Lewises.

The best roles have risks... and those are the parts I'm interested in.

I like to stretch myself, and playing a dance-hall hostess is quite a stretch, but I feel comfortable with it.
