I really never thought I was that good at film. And honestly still don't. My strength is language. My background is monologues and a certain kind of Brechtian spin on theater.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.
My strength as an actor is in the theater - I know that about myself. Some actors get onstage and vanish, but I'm much better there than I am on screen.
I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting.
When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
I try to do as much as I can, every facet of filmmaking.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I am a great movie buff, and I devour films regularly.
How I'm portrayed in films has more to do with the filmmaking and what they need in the story than anything else. I'm the same person I've always been, I just get used in different ways according to the filmmakers' needs - which is fine with me; it makes for great films.
I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.
