You can say your lines a million different ways and play your character a million different ways and still hit the common, agreed-upon finish line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I look at whatever the finish line is for the character and then kind of act backwards from that and play him in such a way so that that finish line is more rewarding.
I try to have a true line in every character I play.
Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts.
I take my time to get into the mindset of the character and say my lines. I really have to be the person that I am playing.
I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.
You really have to take your time; you have to know your character and your scene. The line you are about to say comes from the moment right before. It's not what's said, it's what is in between the spaces, it's what's in between the lines; that is the most important to play.
If you really want to get it more exciting, no linesmen. And have the players call their lines. That would make the game more exciting, I promise you. It would be awesome.
We constantly run lines together before every show too, and then there's a long, traditionally long, story to tell the audience every show. Today, we're doing it twice.
But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?
So I just play the character, I play the lines.
