But I Don't Want To Die! I

When We Were Doing 'freaks And Geeks', I Didn't Quite Understand How Movies And Tv Worked, And I Would Improvise Even If The Camera Wasn't On Me. I Thought I Was Helping The Other Actors By Keeping Them On Their Toes, But Nobody Appreciated It When I Would Trip Them Up. So I Was Improvising A Little Bit Back Then, But Not In A Productive Way.

When I Was A Young Actor, I Just Didn’t Understand How To Function In This Business As An Artist. It Is A Business, It’s Called The Film Business For A Reason, There’s Money Involved ... But On The Flip Side, Now I Do Not Let The Business Side Of It Rule Either. It’s A Balance.

Anyone Has Outside Influences. They Are The Results Of The Cosmic Roll Of The Dice: This Person Is Born Aragon The Ranger, This Person Is Born A Prisoner In North Korea, This Person Is Born Carlos The Dwarf. Some Of These Things Are Out Of Our Control, But That Doesn't Mean That They Can't Be Changed. A Character, Just Like A Person In Real Life, Is A Summation Of Her Actions And Feelings. Our Actions And Emotions Are Not Performed Against Nothing, They Do Not Arise From Dust, We Are In Constant Friction, And/or Flow With Our Surroundings.

It's Hard When You're Doing A Film Based On A True Story To Really Figure Out What All Those Relationships Were.

I Hate Being An Actor, They Dress You And Put On Your Makeup And You Just Feel Like A Little Baby.
