Acting Is Not About Being

I Always Wonder About People's History And Their Lives, Especially People That Are A Little Bit More Distant, Who Obviously Have Had Some Kind Of A Thing And You Know There's Some Reason Why They're Not Able To Connect. It's Not Because They Don't Want To. They Don't Have The Ability.

Modern Acting Is Method Acting, Most Of It. And There Are Sort Of Different Schools, So I Guess I'm Not Really From One School Or Another.

I'm Sure You Guys Are All Much More Familiar With That Because Everybody Has A Phone, And Everyone's Taking Pictures Of Themselves And Making Movies Of Themselves. And So People Are More Accustomed To It Now. So I Had To Get Used To It Because There's A Lot To Be Learned, Of Course, As An Actor. When You Watch Yourself, You Learn A Lot.
