I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I create a character, it happens in layers. The more I write and revise, the better I understand the characters.
I have a hard time retaining the lines. Even on set I make mistakes but I'm okay with that.
Character is not created on the spot.
I try to have a true line in every character I play.
What I'm really trying to do is create unique characters.
I try to create as many circumstances outside of set that help me fall into character when I get onto set.
I can't do an accent unless I'm on the set. I forget how to do it until I'm on the set.
When you're on set, you have to perform and look the part.
I locate that special problem in a character and then try to understand it. That's the genesis of all my work.
I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.
