understanding acting research
You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.
growing-up world film
Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.
ambition actors
I had no ambition to become an actor at all.
evil villain whole
I love playing bad. But my whole thing is usually villains that don't know that they're evil.
acting directors
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
knowing stories tvs
The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.
art example problem
There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.
knowing shooting world
At times, there are misunderstandings [during shooting]. Especially with green screen and not really knowing what it is that you're looking at, you really depend on the director to create that world for you.
shots young
When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.
character imperfection acting
Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.
hate games waiting
As an actor, it's hard to direct because, suddenly, you're not around. The thing which I hate about directing is the waiting game, but you've really got to wait it out and be resilient and keep it going and keep everybody motivated.
circus way actors
In a way, all actors are gypsies, or much like a traveling circus.
