I Have A Rather Naive

I Don't Want To Be Like The Actor Who Rehearses Everything In The Bathroom, Then Comes To The Set And Carries On Completely Uninterrupted While The Other Actors Tiptoe Away. I'm So Dependent On Reacting To The Other Actors On The Set, And To The Director. I'm Very Responsive. I React. And I Treasure The Energy That Reaction Gives. I Feed Off That And Work Off That. I Don't Like To Be Too Prepared, No. However We Define Too Prepared, If I Feel It's Getting That Way, Then I'll Back Off. My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.

Working In Film, If You Work With Great Directors, You Learn That After Every Take You Must Let Go. Sitting With My Wife At The Academy Awards, We Both Let The Moment Just Go.

I Didn't Go To Drama School Because, From The First Refusal I Then, As I Said, A Couple Of Weeks Later, Was Offered A Professional Job, Where I Am Immensely Grateful To The Journey.

I Think I'm More Bonded, Emotionally And In A Craft Sense, To Films That Tell Extraordinary Stories About Extraordinary Destinies.

I Think That Most Actors, And They're A Very Strange Lot Actors, Very Strange People, But I Think That They Attempt To Keep In Touch With The Child.
