I found it more challenging to act in a small scene, especially if it has no dialogue and if it is a close-up with only expressions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do.
I think it's much harder to have a long dialogue scene than an action scene. An action scene is long, but it's not really hard. It's kind of boring, really. It looks good at the end, but to shoot it, it's not the most exciting thing.
I think actors always find the dialogue doesn't quite fit, so you always have to play with it.
Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak.
I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.
For a director, the most challenging scenes are the dialogue scenes.
For me, acting is a series of impressions rather than trying to find one line through to the end, which risks becoming more of a presentation.
The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
