Sometimes I try to improve the language, the lines, or the delivery, but I don't ad-lib because I think that makes it really hard for everybody else involved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am terrible at memorizing things. Hence, ad-libbing.
I can't ad-lib, or not for long.
I don't know why people think I'm this ad-lib dude.
Sometimes the better the writing, the harder it is to play because you really want to service it. It's hard to be that quick and articulate in life. You've got to try to make it seem discovered, you know, not rehearsed.
In college, I went to school for acting; we had to learn phonetics just to be able to do dialects and all that stuff. I'm somebody who does better just hearing it. I'll just imitate it, and I get it better that way. When I know too much information, I'm not great.
I'm always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. That's how I roll.
Legal dialogue is awesome, but you can't ad lib. It's much more fun to be looser and say things like, 'Can I work in a Han Solo reference?' I'm a 'Star Wars' freak.
'Adbusters' is my favourite reading material, so as soon as you go there, the synapses start firing in a different way. You start taking on things that sometimes I feel are out of our control. That's what basically fuels my creative side.
I adore adverbs; they are the only qualifications I really much respect.
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
