I Have Actual Acting Scars.

The Training Gave Me The Building Blocks To Get Through It. A Production Of That Scale, In A Theater That Big, You Are Going To Struggle To Keep Your Voice At First-run Perfectness. All That Work I Did - The Pull-ups And Pushups - Helped Keep My Body Fit. Hamlet, The Show, Is A Cardiovascular Workout Of About Three Hours, Never Mind The Mental, Soul-crushing Element Of It.

I Am Also Full Of Admiration For Chelsea Manning [formerly Pfc Bradley Manning]. Regardless Of Which Side Of The Argument You're On, He Stood Up For Something He Felt Wasn't Right. That Was An Extraordinarily Brave Thing To Do, And I Think He Was Unfairly Punished For It. It's A Really Big Deal What He Did, And He Did It For The Betterment Of All Us, Including The Soldiers On The Ground, As Well As The Civilians Caught Up In Those Conflicts.

I Had To Imagine Myself Into Certain Aspects Of [julian Assange] Character For Our Version Of Events. That Involved Extrapolating Based On Clues In His Biography, His Public Persona, Photographs, And Other Accounts Of Him By People Who Encountered Him During That Extraordinary Period From 2007 To 2010 That We Charted In The Film [the Fifth Estate]. So, It Involved A Lot Of Research But, Sadly, No Contact With The Man Himself.

I Tend To Have A Cup Of Tea, Try To Stop Worrying About What I Did Wrong, Cool Down And Will The Audience Back In As Soon As Possible.

There's A Heroic Amount Of Effort That Goes Into Making Him [doctor Strange] A Superhero By The End Of The Film.
