My Line-learning Is Very Special.

Filming Is So Much To Do With Rhythm, As Is Music, And If It Isn't There Then You Know In The End Nobody Can Save It Really, They Can't.

I Do Remember, As A Child, That I Always Imagined, When I Was Maybe 6 Or 7, My Fantasy Was That Everywhere I Went I Was Being Followed By An Invisible Film Crew.

The Many Many Imponderables Come Together When A Film Opens And For All Sorts Of Reasons It May Or May Not Succeed.

As An Actor There's No Autonomy, Unless You're Prepared To Risk The Possibility Of Starving.

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.
