I Find That Everything I Do Is

I Grew Up In The Theater, And You Can't Improvise Shakespeare And Ibsen. You Have To Speak The Language. But Obviously, In A Contemporary Film, There's Often Room For Improvisation And Spontaneous Things That Happen. As Long As I Know What I'm Trying To Achieve In The Scene, And When Something Comes Up, I Know That The Response Is Genuine, I'm Comfortable. That's Really How I Build Everything.

I Find That Everything I Do Is Demanding, Like Jack Bristow Is A Complicated Man And I Do A Lot Of Explaining In The Show, It Takes A Lot Of Energy And Concentration.

It's Disgusting That A Broadway Show Can't Try Out Anymore, That No Matter Where They Are In The World, There Is This Massive Dialogue Going On Between People Damning Or Praising It.

I Have No Interest In Directing. I've No Talent For It.

That's Why, When Alias Came Along, I Knew I'd Be Ok If The Show Was On For Five Or Six Years Because The Writing Was So Good And The Creative Team Was So Strong.
