When I Choose A Role It's Either

Filming Is So Much To Do With Rhythm, As Is Music, And If It Isn't There Then You Know In The End Nobody Can Save It Really, They Can't.

When You Drop Your Guard In Films, The Acting Process Compensates. You Get Lazy And You Start Acting.

If The Director Wishes To Print It, Then You Have A Series Of Choices, Maybe Millions Of Choices Within That Minute-and-a-half, Or 80 Seconds, Or 2 Minutes Or However Long Or Short The Take Is, You Have All Those Choices Committed To Celluloid. I Find That Absolutely Thrilling.

But Comedy I'd Love To Do As Much As Humanly Possible.

I Don't Want To Be Like The Actor Who Rehearses Everything In The Bathroom, Then Comes To The Set And Carries On Completely Uninterrupted While The Other Actors Tiptoe Away. 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 Feed Off That And Work Off That. I Don't Like To Be Too Prepared, No. However We Define Too Prepared, If I Feel It's Getting That Way, Then I'll Back Off. My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.
