I've Always Been Interested In Science Fiction

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.

Any Good Director Creates A Playground. That's What They Do. They Hire The Right Actor, Open The Door And Let Them Play Because Stuff Will Happen, Right Then And There. The Audience Wants To Believe That What's Going On Is Happening For The First Time, Ever. That's What Acting Is. That's What Good Scene Writing Is.

The Real Good Comedians, Like Chaplin, Would Make You Laugh And A Second Later, Cry

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.

I Always Treat Each Take As A Rehearsal For The Next Take. That Way You Can Find Stuff And Keep Adding And Playing Until They Tell Me To Stop
