I'm kind of intimidated by the big screen - I often keep my performances much smaller and much more natural and subtle.
My love of computers, besides being practical, is very direct and visceral. I love the way things look on the screen.
It is really awkward to see myself on screen.
What happens off-screen definitely informs your performance on screen.
That's when the great stuff happens, when you're not checking yourself all the time, being critical of yourself and what other people are doing.
