Don't Wait To Have A Baby! Do

Modern Acting Is Method Acting, Most Of It. And There Are Sort Of Different Schools, So I Guess I'm Not Really From One School Or Another. I Had A Number Of Different Teachers But They Were All Kind Of Drawing From The Same Pool, Which Is - What Do You Want? What Are You Doing To Get What You Want? And, What Is In The Way? These Are Basic Acting Questions. Knowing The Answers To Those Questions. So You're Talking About Objectives And Actions And Obstacles. That's A Sort Of Shorthand That Gives You A Language.

One Of The Things On A Very Practical Level As An Actor Or Actress Is That When You Do A Play, You Do The Entire Story Every Time You Do It. You Have Eight Shows A Week. You Have A Rehearsal Process Of Four To Five To Six Weeks. And Then Once You're In Performance, Everybody Else Goes Away And You're There With Your Fellow Actors And The Audience And The Material And Your Life Becomes About That. And You Go Through The Story From The Beginning To The End Every Time You Do It And Depending On How Long You Do It, That's Where The Craft Comes In.

Right Now, I Love The Fact That I Have So Many Opportunities, But I Know This Privileged Position Cannot Last. That Doesn't Mean That I'll Stop Working. I Picture Myself As An Old Actress Doing Cameos In Films With People Saying: "isn't That That Bening Woman?"

Of Course, You Can Never Watch Something Like Somebody Else Watches Something Like You, But Nonetheless, You Have To Try. So I Think On Camera You Learn A Lot About How Much The Camera Does For You, Which Is What Is The Great Luxury Of Movie Acting. Or Acting Whether It's Tv Or Movies Or Whatever It Is, That The Camera's Really Such A Gift Because There's So Much That It Sees And Does If You're Willing To Just Be Open And Expose Yourself And All Of That. So You Also Learn What Doesn't Matter. And Sometimes When You Think About Things, You Think Things Matter That Don't Matter.

Things Either Become Unclear In A Story Or They're Just Ambiguous With No Real Point. So Defined Gray Area With Clarity That Also Works In The Narrative, That's Tricky.
