I Am Very Happy To Be Part

I Can't Negotiate And Collaborate With A Character To Create A Distilled Dramatic Investigation Of The Raw Material. I Need To Work With An Actor. That Stuff About Actors Who Stay In Character All The Time Is Nonsense.

In The First Place, I'm Pretty Thorough About Whom I Choose. I Instinctively Look For The Kind Of Actor Who Is Going To Be Trusting. There Are All Kinds Of Insecure People Out There Called Actors.

My Work Requires Acting At Its Most Committed - It Demands Actors Of Enormous Resilience, But Also Intelligence And Wit. It Doesn't Work For Narcissistic Or Selfish Actors.

There Are Plenty Of Bad Actors And There Are Plenty Of Bad Directors. There Are Actors Who Will Always Be Bad And There Are Good Actors Who You Cry For Because They're Being Badly Directed Or The Material Isn't Good Enough.

I've Walked Out Of Films. But For Every Film I've Ever Walked Out Of, I've Probably Walked Out Of 500 Plays.
