When I Found Myself In That Situation

Before You Start Production, You Have Characters You Have Created Without Actors In Mind, Then All Of A Sudden You've Got Actors. They Bring An Enormous Amount In Creating These Characters, And Creating The Dynamics Between The Characters That You've Written.

When I Found Myself In That Situation - That Actors Are Like Children, I Tried To Be Successful. And When It Worked And I Figured Out How To Communicate That Things Were Good - Or At Least Okay - Then I Felt Pleased.

I Do Believe You Have A Wound Too. I Do Believe It Is Both Specific To You And Common To Everyone. I Do Believe It Is The Thing About You That Must Be Hidden And Protected, It Is The Thing That Must Be Tap Danced Over Five Shows A Day, It Is The Thing That Won't Be Interesting To Other People If Revealed. It Is The Thing That Makes You Weak And Pathetic. It Is The Thing That Truly, Truly, Truly Makes Loving You Impossible. It Is Your Secret, Even From Yourself. But It Is The Thing That Wants To Live.

I Tend To Not Only Read Reviews, But Also Every Little Stupid Thing Online. It's A Very Bad Idea, And There's A Lot Of Angry People In The World. And It's Weird To Absorb All That Weirdness.

I Spend A Lot Of Time In Preproduction Working With Authors, And A Lot Of Time In Postproduction.: Editing, Music, All That Sort Of Stuff. Casting. On The Set There's Not A Lot For Me To Do.
