Are You Not Entertained?

Reality Is, I'm An Actor And An Entertainer, And I Really Wouldn't Know What To Do With Another Profession.

I Respond In The Moment Which Is What Makes Me A Good Actor.

If You're A Certain Type Of Actor, Then Eventually Stepping Into A Director's Shoes Is A Natural Transition. I've Always Been The Actor Who's Very Focused On The Narrative, Where My Character Is In The Story, And How I Can Benefit The Story. I've Always Had A Technical Aspect Of What The Lens Is, How The Camera Is Going To Move, How I Can Feed The Information The Director Applies Within That Move. If You're That Type Of Actor, Narrative-based, Technically Proficient, The Next Step Is Actually Not That Far.

Anyway, I'm Doing My Rave And This Spittle Comes Out Of My Mouth And It Winds Its Way Very Delicately Through The Wire Fence That Separates Us And Lands Clear And Bright On Denzel's Lip. And We're At The Beginning Of The Scene And I've Got To Do The Rest Of The Scene, And The Camera Isn't On Him, It's On Me - And I'm Fully Aware That I've Just Spat On Denzel Washington!

You Don't Want To Be Starting A Film Not Knowing What You Want To Do.
