I Think, Now, Younger Generations Do Take

People Say To Me, Well "what's The Character You Really Want To Play?" And I Go, I Don't Know.

Ang Lee Just Allowed Me To Make What We Would Call Mistakes And Had No Judgment Of Them. He Also Empowered Me. You Know, He's Like, "you're My Actor. I Chose You. Whatever You Do Is Right." Right?

And So It Was Very Empowering.

I've Become Obsessed With Learning Other Languages In Movies, Because I Was Like, Since I Was Like, But I Learned How To Box So Why Don't I Just Learn Another Language For A Movie?

You Have Formal Rehearsal, A Lot Of Things You Don't Have In Movies - Which Is, You Have To Formally Rehearse. You Have To Know Your Back Story, Discuss It, And Almost Everybody Onstage Has To Know Each Other's [story], So That When It Comes Time To Actually Do It, You Can Throw It All Away. That's The Way I Like To - And I Didn't Realize Until Very Recently - That's The Way I Like To Prepare For Movies.

I Was Trying To Figure Out Where My Intellect, If I Really Have One, Where It Fit. And So I Was Searching. I Really Didn't Know Who I Was Or What I Really Wanted To Be, And In That Search, Like I Think You Do As An Actor, You End Up Trying To Define Whatever That Is, And I Sort Of Said, "oh Well, Searching Spiritually In A Way Is Interesting, And Eastern Religion Seems To Be About A Search."
