I Love Watching People Listen. And On

One Of The Things That I Love When I Go To A Film Or When I'm Reading Some Book Or Whatever, Is To Be Told A Secret I Thought Only I Knew And Then Someone Says, "oh My Gosh, You Know, Too." And Film Can Take Us Into Private Moments In A Way That The Theater, I Think, Kind Of Can't, And That's One Of The Reasons I Like Doing Films. And The Way A Book Can Is That These Little Secrets And The Private Things That Go On In Our Minds That Maybe We Haven't Shared With Anyone, And Then Someone Writes It Or Shows It To You In A Film, You Think, "oh, That's Me. Oh My God, That's Me, I Have That Secret."

We Want To Be Seen For Who We Really Are, And Each Person Has His Own Complex Story And Reasons For Doing What They Do.

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.

Maybe That's One Of The Virtues Of The 2016 Election That We're Going Through Is All Of This Racism And Xenophobia And Sexism And Whatever Else You Want To Say Is Being Exposed, Maybe That's A Blessing. I'm Trying To Look At The Positive Side Of What's Been Happening In Our Country, Which Is Frightening.

Of Course, You Can Never Watch Something Like Somebody Else Watches Something Like You, But Nonetheless, You Have To Try. So I Think On Camera You Learn A Lot About How Much The Camera Does For You, Which Is What Is The Great Luxury Of Movie Acting. Or Acting Whether It's Tv Or Movies Or Whatever It Is, That The Camera's Really Such A Gift Because There's So Much That It Sees And Does If You're Willing To Just Be Open And Expose Yourself And All Of That. So You Also Learn What Doesn't Matter. And Sometimes When You Think About Things, You Think Things Matter That Don't Matter.
