I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Very rarely have I had the opportunity to say lines which I would have said even if I wasn't working in a film.
It's been about ten years since I've worked with actors who knew their lines!
I'm just always learning lines. I've learned to flag the really crucial scenes, and I start figuring them out and committing them to memory as soon as I get them.
As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don't learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean.
Learning lines is my biggest challenge.
Oh yes. I'm an actor, so I just learn my lines, and show up and do it. I gave it a little bit of thought.
One thing I've really never had a problem with was memorizing lines. Most of the time I don't memorize the lines until we're on the set shooting the scene.
Memorising my lines is actually something I do fairly well. I look at it a few times and it is pretty much there. When your shooting on TV, they do it in such a way that it is pretty easy.
Lines are very difficult to learn.
The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!
