Don’t judge people by their appearance: Hillary Swank

“Being an actor we are constantly objectified. Things are thrown at us about what we look like,how we should look,we’re not this enough or that enough,it’s easy to look at yourself in those terms. I think ultimately there are so many different ways a person is beautiful,” Swank said.

The actress,who won the Oscar award for the best actress twice for her roles in ‘Boy’s Don’t Cry’ and ‘Million Dollar Baby’ said that while growing up her acting skills were often criticised but she soon learned to realise which opinions she should listen to.

“I had one teacher who told me when am I going to give up my hobby. Look,everyone’s going to have an opinion. I think you have to learn how to decipher what’s constructive and what you can take in to incorporate into being a better actor or help you be successful.

“As actors,we wear our hearts on our sleeves. It’s easy to have that bad stuff that’s thrown at you…be upsetting,” she added.
