I Would Encourage You As A Screenwriter

Everyone Has To Understand What We're Saying To One Another And There's No Point In Me Thinking The Line Means This And The Person I'm Speaking To Thinks It Means Something Else. So There's A Certain Amount Of Analyzing Of Text That's Of Course Necessary.

I Don't Want To Make Decisions About What I'm Going To Do Before I'm Doing It Because I Base My Acting Off My Partner And Off The Other People In The Scene.

You Would Never Dream Of Going On To Play A Scene In Front Of An Audience At Least Without Having Rehearsed It. But You Do Somehow In Front Of A Camera.

Then I Left School At 16 And Worked In Perth Repertory Theatre, Which Was Quite Nearby Where I Lived. And I Worked There For About Six Or Seven Months, As Part Of The Stage Crew.

I Think Rehearsal Can Be Important If It's Done In A Way That Works. Often, Rehearsal Can Be A Waste Of Time.
