I got into acting because prior to it i didn't have much in the way of social skills or friends. I saw an opportunity to do something different and took a chance. From that i received a lot of appreciation, had a lot of fun and wanted to keep going. The reason why i keep doing it is because i like it. I like putting on different voices, dressing differently and going about things in a different way to what i would in everyday life. Acting is all about choices and it's interesting to take on a character and see what kind of choices they make and where it leads them in their eyes and in the eyes of those around them.
Being yourself in another characters situation and learning more about humanity. There is a reason these events are happening in the characters life and a reason the story is being told. So when you act, you look for things in the script that provide you with information of how to walk, talk and interact, thanking of it comes from listening. You are always you as an actor, thinking with your own brain and using your intellectual spin with your  performance. You aren't "possessed by an external whimsical character entity" that's why some budding actors have so much trouble with acting because they see acting as something outside of their control, you have complete control over the way you act.
