…is being allowed to explore the truth of experiences I’ve never had and feelings that are not my own. Playing different characters in different fictions and different worlds is like traveling to foreign countries. Characters I play may do things differently from me, may feel differently, may react differently in different situations, but they are no more or less human. Acting is the exploration of universal truths – birth, death, love, loss, joy, grief, pride, vanity, hope, compassion, family, friendship, triumph, and disaster – but wearing different faces. That, as I see it, is my job.”
– Tom Hiddleston
