You Know, You Really Do Choose Your

Even When You Think You Can Detach Yourself From The Characters, You Don't. Because You're Spending So Much Time Trying To Realize This Person And Make Them Real That They Do Infect You, In A Way. And You Do Take Them Home And Live With Them, Even If You Think You're Turning The Character Off. But In Order To Pull Off A Role Convincingly, You Wind Up Thinking About That Person All The Time, And It Does Sort Of Creep Into You. And Then There Are Things That You'll Respond To, Or React To In A Very Different Way Than You Would Normally.

I Think Robert Altman Could See Things In Me That I Didn't Know I Possessed, Which Is Really Exciting. He Also Instilled A Tremendous Amount Of Confidence, Because He Would Say Things Like, "these Are The Bare Bones, But I Want You To Go Fill It Out. You Find The Character. You Bring It To Me. You Write Whatever You Want." And If You Had An Idea, He Wouldn't Want To Hear About It. He's Want You To Show It To Him.

Even If The Role Is Very Far Away From Me, To Try And Make It As Nakedly Me As Possible Is An Intriguing Notion.

Children Accept Their World As The World. I Grew Up Like Kids That I Went To School With. Their Parents Were Either Shrinks Or Actors.
