Equal Partners Aren't Always What We Envision

I Love Storytelling. If You Strip All The Bits Away, What You'll Find At The Center Is A Storyteller. As I Warm To My Career And Love It More, I Have A Sense That Storytelling Is Healing, In Many Ways. You Can Reach An Audience And Heal, And By Heal, I Mean Entertain And Provoke. It's A Wonderful Life.

I Don't Want To Be Like The Actor Who Rehearses Everything In The Bathroom, Then Comes To The Set And Carries On Completely Uninterrupted While The Other Actors Tiptoe Away. I'm So Dependent On Reacting To The Other Actors On The Set, And To The Director. I'm Very Responsive. I React. And I Treasure The Energy That Reaction Gives. I Feed Off That And Work Off That. I Don't Like To Be Too Prepared, No. However We Define Too Prepared, If I Feel It's Getting That Way, Then I'll Back Off. My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.

There Is Always Something About The Villains That I'm Able To Play, Quote Unquote, That Isn't Villainous.

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 Do Believe Female Directors, As Well As Our Female Writer, Can Bring Out Male Vulnerability That Some Men Can't Because They Can't Face It.
