The Biggest Surprise In A Man's Life

If It's A Really Well Written Villain, He Probably Has More Layers Than The Archetypal Good Person. So That Would Be Very Attractive To An Actor. No One Chooses To Be A Villain; It's Usually A Reaction To Something Else.

Shakespeare Villains Were Extraordinary. Macbeth, Iago, Richard Iii... They're So Richly Layered That A British Actor Would Find It Almost Impossible To Create A Two-dimensional Villain, If He's Explored In His Early Years Or Continues To Explore His Shakespearean Heritage. You Can Almost Not Judge Them, If They're Played Really Well.

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 Think That Shakespeare Had His Male Side And His Female Side Extremely Well Developed. And This Was A Great Quality Of The Elizabethan, All-around Renaissance Man. They Were Not Afraid Of Their Male Side And Their Female Side Co-existing. This Somewhere Along The Line Got Lost. And Then It Got Misunderstood.

I Don't Do Anything That Would Ever Come Across As Advice Or Suggestion, But It's Just Part Of A Debate. Like, "i Would Like To Try This," Or "let Me Do Another One With More Stillness, Let Me Emphasize That." Rather Than "i Think You Should Emphasize This, I Think" - You Know, I Don't Impose Choices.
