It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People say you never remember anybody who dies in movies, and it's true, you don't. You don't even remember people who disappear.
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
Any time you die in a film, it's not real, so it's all kind of fun.
During a movie, you lose all ability to focus on your own interests. Your life is in service. After that you just want to disappear, switch off the phone, and sleep and watch movies for a month.
It's very weird about movies: you never know which ones are going to stay alive and which one are going to be meaningless. When you're there, you couldn't possibly predict it. Some things slowly die, and others slowly stay a while.
There's something scary about acting always, because basically you do all this work in a vacuum, and then suddenly there's a lot of money spent making a film, and there's suddenly a camera here, going, 'Right? What are you gonna do?'
I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.
My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.
When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.
Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.
