The Films That Are Interesting You Never

Acting Is Not About Being Famous, It's About Exploring The Human Soul.

One Of The Things On A Very Practical Level As An Actor Or Actress Is That When You Do A Play, You Do The Entire Story Every Time You Do It. You Have Eight Shows A Week. You Have A Rehearsal Process Of Four To Five To Six Weeks. And Then Once You're In Performance, Everybody Else Goes Away And You're There With Your Fellow Actors And The Audience And The Material And Your Life Becomes About That. And You Go Through The Story From The Beginning To The End Every Time You Do It And Depending On How Long You Do It, That's Where The Craft Comes In.

It Used To Be The One Or The Other, Right? You Were The 'bad Girl' Or The 'good Girl' Or The 'bad Mother' Or The 'good Mother,' 'the Horrible Businesswoman Who Eschewed Her Children' Or 'the Earth Mother Who Was Happy To Be At Home Baking Pies,' All Of That Stuff That We Sort Of Knew Was A Lie.

I Still Remember The Five Points Of Salesmanship: Attention, Interest, Conviction, Desire And Close.

That's One Of The Most Important Things About Acting Is Not Just When You're Speaking But When You're Taking In From Someone Else. So I Often Go To The Theater And I'm Watching The Person Who's Not Talking. I Love That.
