I grind my teeth and keep my thumbs in so tight that I've dislocated them, just not to scream. Sometimes as an actor one is lucky enough to be asked to scream.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.
A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.
I think over time I've learned to stop being a screamer and get interactive; otherwise, you get killed in Hollywood. I stopped being a screamer shortly after 'Blade Runner,' kicking doors and things like that, because I wasn't actually getting anywhere.
When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn't bear it any more.
I would never scream at my kids, never raise my voice. But as they often tell me, they were so well behaved that screaming was not necessary.
I find it scary to sing - scarier than acting actually.
After every single take, I laugh. It's my own awkwardness and discomfort about being an actor.
I know that's why I became an actress. In my dream world, I could get mad and scream and yell, and if somebody died, they got up again. In real life, I didn't dare try it.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.
I've never thought that what I do as an actor does anything for anybody, other than making them laugh once in a while.
