When I Look Back, If I'd Played

For Me Really Good Acting Is About Subtext.

There's Something To Play If There's Conflict Going On. Whatever That Conflict Is, That's Where Drama Is; If The Character Is Grappling With Something You've Got Something To Play, There's Layers To It.

For An Actor, It's Very Important To Get A Clear Idea Of What A Director Wants, And Their Intention For What They Want To Get Out Of A Scene And How They Want To Shoot It. Having That Knowledge Is Really Valuable, For An Actor. It Means You Can Deliver More.

I Actually Really Love Working With Young Actors Because They're So Responsive And Instinctive, And It's A Much Less Honed Craft That They're Employing.

One Of The Views Of The [actor's] Job Is That Whatever Age You Are, There's A Role That's About Who You Are And Where You Are. There Are Parts For That Age That You Can Bring Things To.
