The Process Of Building A Part Doesn't

I Am Not One Of Those Actors Who Believes He Has To Live The Part He Is Playing. I Can Turn It On And Off.

The Process Of Creation Goes On All The Time. When I Get Through, I Feel I Know What The Character Will Do In Every Situation. But The Building Up Of The Part Is Not Mechanical Or Deliberate. It Grows Out Of The Text.

What Can I Tell You About Things Like Circus Of Horrors Except That I Get Killed By The Bear?

The Play Is On Top Of Me All The Time, And I Am Constantly Thinking About It. Even When I Leave The Theatre, I'll Mumble The Lines To Myself Or Think About The Way The Character Walks Or Holds Himself.

All The Real Work Is Done In The Rehearsal Period.
