This Is A Good Thing To Say To Film Students. If There's A Story Point That You Don't Feel Right About, That There's A Question You Have - "does It Really Make Sense?" Or, "is That Plausible?

I'm Just As Intrigued By Acting As Ever. It's An Ongoing Process. There's No Arrival. There's No Point At Which You Say "oh, Ok, Done It, Got It." It Just Doesn't Happen. And That's True Of Any Creative Endeavor. For Me, It's Just A Lifelong Interest. I'm Very Much Interested In The Craft. I Started By Doing Plays And It Took Me A Long Time To Feel Comfortable Doing Movies, Working With Cameras.
