Because I used to go and watch him rehearsing for pantomime, and I have adopted some of those priciples, like try to be on time, learn your script, how he approach it, etc.

My dad tells me that he took us to a pantomime when I was very, very small - panto being a sort of English phenomenon. There's traditionally a part of the show where they'll invite kids up on the stage to interact with the show. I was too young to remember this, but my dad says that I was running up onstage before they even asked us.
Uhm, I'm the one wanting the lessons! I don't want to say too much about it because I'd rather have you see the movie, but he's trying to find his music.
Because I found myself telling the story of his family to people without the visual aids that I was able to employ by filming them eventually. But I very much knew exactly what I was going to do.
What really makes it fun for an actor is when the script is good.
Every year or so, I try to do something; it keeps me refreshed as to what's going on in front of the lens, and I understand what the actor is going through.
Spielberg knows his craft so well, he can also improvise, and that is a lot of fun.
It's fun to improvise, but I still think it's better to have a great script, you know, like a Charlie Kaufman script.
I'm a big fan of pantomime storytelling, being an animator.
Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?
I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you're going to get that next script and you're done.
