I Like That I've Been Through Things,

I Remember Hearing Someone Say That Good Acting Is More About Taking Off A Mask Than Putting One On, And In Movie Acting, Certainly That's True. With The Camera So Close, You Can See Right Down Into Your Soul, Hopefully. So Being Able To Do That In A Way Is Terrifying, And In Another Way, Truly Liberating. And I Like That About It.

As An Actor, You Want To Be Open To The Unexpected. So In Order To Be Open To That, You Do Have To Get Out Of Your Discursive Mind Just Like In Any Creative Process, This Isn't Just About Acting. So You Have To Learn A Little Bit How To Work With Your Own Mind.

That's One Of The Most Important Things About Acting Is Not Just When You're Speaking But When You're Taking In From Someone Else. So I Often Go To The Theater And I'm Watching The Person Who's Not Talking. I Love That.

Movies Are Details. Movies Are Billions Of Details That Come Into A Certain Moment. So With All The Years And Months And Weeks And Days And Minutes Of Preparation, Then Finally You're Shooting And It All Comes Down To These Moments When You're Shooting, Which Is Sort Of Insane When You Think About It. The Details Make A Difference.

I Am Really Looking Forward As I Get Older And Older, To Being Less And Less Nice.
