Fame Is Very Corrosive And You Have

I Had A Huge Advantage With Edward Norton Because He's Directed A Movie Before, So One Thing He Appreciates Is How Hard My Job Is, He's Very Sensitive To That. We Actually Ended Up Finishing "leaves Of Grass" A Day Early.

I Hear About Actors Being Exterior Actors And Actors Being Instinctual Actors And I Always Think It's Crap. Anybody Who Knows Anything About It Knows That Good Actors Do Both - They Do Inside-outward And They Do Outside-inward. You Can't Not Do Both.

For Keeping The Faith, I Looked At [george ] Cukor's Old Films Like The Philadelphia Story, Stuff That's Hilariously Funny And Really Smart With A Cutting Critique In The Humor, Too. With This, When I Read It, I Was Laughing A Lot.
