It's Very Hard To Be A Playwright

My Feeling Is... When You Show Up To A Movie Set Where There's, Like, 50 People Standing Around And Months Of Preparation Gone Into It, You Want To Be As Prepared As Possible, So You Should Make A Million Baguettes. That Might Not Actually Help In Any Explicit Way, But It'll Make You Feel More Prepared.

When You Do A Play, You Have The Kind Of Nightly Feeling Of Accomplishment. But You Also Have The Daily Dread Of The Doing It Every Night. And Because You're Doing The Whole Thing Every Day, It's Like Climbing Up The Mountain Every Single Night. With A Movie It's Like Climbing The Mountain Very Slowly, Over Months Of Filming.

Nothing Is Harder Than Working With An Actor Who Doesn't Take It Seriously Or Show Up In The Same Way That You Are.

I View Myself In The Narrowest Possible Terms, But I Don't Watch Anything I've Been In, And I Don't Read Reviews Or Analysis Of Movies I've Been In, Or My Plays.
