I don't try to portray some lifestyle that I'm not living.
We make a living playing basketball. You don't have to be a tough guy or a hard-ass to play this sport. You can be tough but you don't have to have that bravado. Sometimes it's good. But I'm not going to be someone I'm not. It's just me being me.
There's not much difference between what I appear to be on stage and what I am. I think people like that, that I'm not trying to pull a caper.
I can't put on a facade every time I go out.
Esse quam videri," Celia says. "To be, rather than to seem.
I am not very good at putting on a front.
If you're trying too hard to be the girl next door, you're not going to be.
I never want to fake it. That's my whole thing.
People sniff out when you try to fake something or be something you are not.
There are times when I will dress up, like tonight for the premiere, but there are times when it doesn't matter. It's not that I think it's fake, but I'm not going to go out of my way to be something that I'm not.
I will not pretend to be something that I'm not. I certainly won't do it to win the audience over.
I'm not a guy that's gonna go out there and not be me and be fake and talk a bunch of crap.
I'm not one of those people who has an act.
People always want to get behind the image on the screen, and I'm not sure there is one. I don't put on an act.
I tend to relate more to people on television who are just themselves, for good or for bad, than I do to someone who I believe is putting on some sort of persona. The anchorman on 'The Simpsons' is a reasonable facsimile of some anchors who have that problem.
I try not to fake anything.
