Too many actors try to get too much out of scenes that they ought to be leaving alone, just doing them quickly and getting the hell out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the scenes are written really great, we as actors try not to mess them up by getting in the way.
Well first of all, it's hard to shoot a movie and break for a long time and then come back and do, in a sense, one of the biggest scenes that each character had.
A lot of actors flame out.
And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.
I think every character actor at some stage likes to carry a film. It can be extremely liberating to just come in for a scene or two and do your thing. But I find it frustrating if I'm just doing little bits here and there for too long.
I think a lot of actors take on fun roles and then they're lazy or flippant with them. I just can't do that.
An actor really suffers when the director isn't prepared because you start running out of time for the shoot and then have to do it fast.
Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.
I think actors are brave souls that have to use parts of themselves that I'm just not comfortable doing anymore.
Actors know, with me they aren't going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right. So they come with their full bag of tricks.
