Really Top-notch Directors, I've Often Worked With

When I Started Out As An Actor, I Thought, Here's What I Have To Say; How Shall I Say It? I Began To Understand That What I Do In The Scene Is Not As Important As What Happens Between Me And The Other Person. And Listening Is What Lets It Happen. It's Almost Always The Other Person Who Causes You To Say What You Say Next. You Don't Have To Figure Out How You'll Say It. You Have To Listen So Simply, So Innocently, That The Other Person Brings About A Change In You That Makes You Say It And Informs The Way You Say It.

Your Assumptions Are Your Windows On The World. Scrub Them Off Every Once In A While Or The Light Won't Come In. If You Challenge Your Own, You Won't Be So Quick To Accept The Unchallenged Assumptions Of Others. You'll Be A Lot Less Likely To Be Caught Up In Bias Or Prejudice Or Be Influenced By People Who Ask You To Hand Over Your Brains, Your Soul Or Your Money Because They Have Everything All Figured Out For You.

As I Am Becoming Older, The Only Thing That Speeds Up Is Time.

I Find Myself Going To Places Where I Really Have No Business, Speaking To These People In A Whole Other Field That I Have No Extensive Knowledge Of. But I Do It Very Often Because It Scares Me.

Everybody's On Their Toes And Focused On What We're About To Do, And Then There's This Moment Where You Relax Because You See That Everybody Is There To Do The Best That They Can. Everyone Opens Up To One Another Right Away. That's A Terrific Thing. I Love That About Actors. They Know How Personal This Job Is.
