When You Come To Actually

For A Culture That Has Such A Problem With Death, We Seem To Deal With It In A Quite Bizarre Way. We See People Shot, Killed And Blown Up, And We Find It Funny And Sexy And All Those Things. But, The Reality Of It Is That Every Day People Die, And People Are Really Sad And They Grieve And They Go Through A Really Difficult Process With It.

We Live In A Bubble Of The Fantasy Of Death, But The Reality Of It Is Something That We Obviously All Face And Have To Deal With, At Some Point.

In The Case Of Two Actors Connecting With Each Other And Trusting Each Other, Our Bodies Have Memories Without Us Having To Consciously Think About It, So Rather Than Think, "oh, I Must Think About My Daughter Dying," You Just Let That Go And Trust That You Have All The Emotions You Need In There, And By Losing Yourself In The Scene, That Stuff Kicks In Without Having To Spend The Day Thinking About Horrific Things Happening To Your Own Child.

What's Enjoyable For Me, As An Actor, Is To Do As Many Different Things As Possible.

When I Was At Drama School, I Wanted To Change The World, And Thought I Had Some Great Wisdom To Impart To People About Humanity. Now That I'm Older, I Know Enough To Realise That I Know Nothing At All.
