I've Done Quite A Few

I Like To Direct Movies, But I Don't Like To Goof Around For Eight Years Talking About It.

When You Do A Really Good Play, The Audience And The Performers Are Looking Into The Same Looking Glass, The Same Microscope. And The Specimen They Are Looking At Is Human Life And That's Why I Do It, That's Why I Like It.

You Can Be A Mason And Build 50 Buildings, But It Doesn't Mean You Can Design One.

What You Really Need To Build A Character Is Exactly What You Don't Have In The Movies - Time. You Know, Movies Are Like A Line Drawing. You Have To Make Very Quick Decisions, Which Are, In The End Instinctive. Or You Make A Decision To Say "well, Maybe I Can Do That, Because... Oh, That Could Be Irritating After A While, Or Distracting, Etc. Etc." Some Of It Is A Matter Of Time, Always.

Much Of What You Do As An Actor - It's Who's Around You, What's The Environment, Where Do You Fit Into This Thing. That's Really Work That's Impossible To Do On Your Own, At Least For Me. I Find It Hard To Pre-plan Every Element Of Everything I Do. It's Not My Thing.
