Playing A Drunk Doesn't Mean Being A Drunk, Only Bad Actors Try To Be Drunk. A Real Drunk Tries To Be Sober, He Wants Another Drink. How A Character Hides Their Feelings Tells Us Who They Are, No One Shows Their Feelings Except Bad Actors.

People Are In Denial All The Time, Hiding Things. If I Tell You A Racist Or Dirty Joke And You Laugh, You're Telling Me Something About Yourself, Which You Don't Want To Reveal. Accessing That Hidden Side Is What Good Acting Is All About. And There Are Only A Handful Of People In The Entire United States Who Interest Me As Actors, Who Surprise Me. Even People Who Write About It, Don't Know Anything About Good Performance. At Least When You Work At General Motors, You Know Something About Cars.

The Talented Actor Needs Craft. When You Do A Stage Play, You Do It Once Each Night In Chronological Order. In A Film You're Going To Wind Up Doing A Scene 15-20 Times, Just By The Nature Of The Process. If I Tell You A Joke Once, It's Funny. The More Times I Tell, The Less Funny It Is. How Do You Get To The Point Where You Can Laugh Again? You Also May Have To Cry Again And Again.

The Actor Has To Have Some Degree Of Craft, Along With The Talent. No One Tries To Laugh Except Bad Actors. No One Tries To Cry Except Bad Actors. How A Character Hides His Feelings Tells Us Who He Is. Most People Don't Know That, And Most Actors Don't Do That. Therefore, There Are A Lot Of Actors Who Put Me To Sleep, That Are Considered Good Actors, But They're Predictable And Boring. I Know How The Scene Is Going To End Before It Ends.
