Acting Is Not About Being Famous, It's

I Like That I've Been Through Things, That When Something Happens, It Resonates With Something That Already Happened. It's Not That Things Like Loss Are More Or Less Painful. But They're Deeper. I Find That Fascinating.

I Love Watching People Listen. And On Film Often Some Of The Best Moments If You Think About Favorite Moments On Film, Often The Person Isn't Even Talking.

All Of Modern Acting Comes From Stanislavski, Who Was The Russian Partner To Chekhov. When Chekhov Was Writing His Plays, Stanislavski Was Running His Theater. And Stanislavski Really Was The First Inventor Of Modern Acting And Then Everything That Came Out Of The Method And Stella Adler And The Great Teachers Really Came Out Of Him.

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.

I Can Be Very Snobby About Fiction, Especially Contemporary Fiction. I Can Be Kind Of Overly Demanding, I Think. But This Is, I Think, A Good Time. A Lot Of Fiction Comes Out Right Now. So, I Like Reading The Memoir. I Love Memoir, The Biography, Auto Bio.
