I frequently have scenes that take place in places I've never been or characters who have professions that I know nothing about that I've got to research. But that's what Google is for.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I often make films about subjects I don't really know much about. Maybe it's laziness, but I don't go in there having done a tonne of research; the research happens while I'm making the film.
Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.
Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.
What I do on film is part of my profession.
There are still things technically about films that I think are a mystery to me and I want to remain a mystery. I don't particularly want to know what everyone's job is because I've got lines to learn.
It's interesting - an actor's research is different to just historian's research. I'm looking for things that I can actually physically use in the movie.
Part of the fun of acting is the research, finding out about other people.
What use is there for a biography of myself? I'm just a movie actor.
It's important to do research. I do that in every play, every actor does.
I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production. So when people in the know talk, I willingly listen.
