“I became an actor so I can show you characters and never have to show you me”
— Margot Robbie
Simplified Meaning:
An actor uses their talent to portray different people in movies, plays, or TV shows, allowing them to hide their true self. Think of it like wearing different masks; each role they play is a mask that helps them avoid showing their real personality or feelings. For example, Johnny Depp is known for playing many unusual characters, from a pirate to a mad hatter, but we don't really know much about who he is in his daily life. This approach can help actors protect their privacy and keep their personal life separate from their work. If someone feels shy or insecure, they might relate to this idea by thinking about how they might act differently at work or school compared to how they act at home. It suggests that taking on different roles can be a way to explore different parts of themselves without feeling exposed.
