I Think The Actor Has A Tribal Role As The Archetypal Story Teller. I Think There Was A Time When The Storyteller, The Priest, The Healer, Were All One Person In One Body. That Person Used To Weave Stories At Night Around A Small Fire To Keep The Tribe From Being Terrified That Sun Had Gone Down.

The Environment Forces You To Be Utterly Dependent Between "action" And "cut" Because The Environment Is Perfect On Your Fellow Actor. So As An Acting Exercise, It's Absolutely Thrilling That The Focus That We Had To Bring To Each Other Echoed In Life, Echoed In Art. And When You Get That Parallel, It's Really Thrilling And It's Full Of Surprises, But It All Has A Logic.

I Think That You Can Fall Into Bad Habits With Comedy... It's A Tightrope To Stay True To The Character, True To The Irony, And Allow The Irony To Happen.

But Filming Is Good For You, Because The Crew Isn't Allowed To Laugh. You Can't Get Addicted To Getting The Laugh.

In Order To Inhabit A Villain, You Mustn't Care What The Audience Think Of You. That's Not Why You Are There. You Mustn't Care For A Second Whether The Audience Likes You Or Dislikes You. Your Villain Has To Be Way Beyond That.
