I Can Be Very Snobby About Fiction,

I Fall In Love With All The People I'm Working With, Women, Directors, Everybody. As Actors, That's Actually One Of The Real Pleasures Of The Work. You Have This Weird Opportunity To Get Unnaturally Close To People Very Quickly.

Most Of The People That I've Worked With When Shooting Films That I Really Respect, There Is A Point Which You Do Become Obsessed In A Good Way. And Because It's A Collaborative Medium, You're Not By Yourself In A Room Tearing Your Hair Out, You're In A Room With A Bunch Of People. And We're All Tearing Our Hairs Out, Or Trying To Get Something Right, Or Caring Deeply About Something. But That's Fun.

You Have To Learn To Deal With Your Own, For Want Of A Better Word, Insecurities, Fears. They Don't Go Away. And That's Normal. It's Human. You Don't Ever Really Want To Lose That. What You Want To Do Is Learn To Manage It And To Work With Yourself. But There's A Part Of You That Has Anticipation And Fear. And So The Important Thing To Know Is That There's Nothing Wrong With That And That That's Normal. You Have To Learn How To Deal With It, Certainly, But It Doesn't Keep You From Doing It. And That Doesn't Go Away Ever.

All Of Modern Acting Comes From Stanislavski, Who Was The Russian Partner To Chekhov. When Chekhov Was Writing His Plays, Stanislavski Was Running His Theater. And Stanislavski Really Was The First Inventor Of Modern Acting And Then Everything That Came Out Of The Method And Stella Adler And The Great Teachers Really Came Out Of Him.

It Used To Be The One Or The Other, Right? You Were The 'bad Girl' Or The 'good Girl' Or The 'bad Mother' Or The 'good Mother,' 'the Horrible Businesswoman Who Eschewed Her Children' Or 'the Earth Mother Who Was Happy To Be At Home Baking Pies,' All Of That Stuff That We Sort Of Knew Was A Lie.
