From the Interview with Burak Demir

How did you start acting? What is the motivation that drives you to become an actor?

I started my acting career at the age of 17 as a trainee at Yenimahalle Municipal Theater. In the workshops at Yenimahalle Municipal Theater, I realized that the creative process freed my soul and energy. This colorful and endless process is the biggest motivation for me to embrace this profession.

Acting is a long and challenging process. Is there a philosophy of life that you have set for yourself in this process?

I try to do my best in every project. I have played different roles over the years. In order to do this, you must be equipped, you must work and work. I also love my profession. I know that I will act until I die and I will always remain human.

How important do you think education is in acting? Do you think someone without training can be a good actor?

You cannot be anything without education. By the way, by education, I do not just mean studying at the conservatory. Acting is not taught, it is learned. No one can teach you how to imagine a world that does not exist, you must comprehend it with your own ability. Education teaches you how to exist in that dream world and how to ensure its continuity. Otherwise, it is an accidental invention, amateurism without repetition. Professionalism is to ensure the continuity of the role of the situation. Because there is ‘repetition’ in the dynamic of the profession.

We know you're on good terms with sports. You love cycling and the sea. How did you start diving, how does it feel?

Yes, I love certain sports. Cycling, diving, horseback riding, shooting… But diving has been a passion of mine since childhood. With a mask, I can spend hours in a meter of water.
