Yes, I am aware that I have become a caricature. I've thought about this. Conceptually, what I'd like to do is the equivalent of writing myself out of the script.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always tried to work according to what affects me, to a script that I like because it touches me in some way, without deliberately pursuing a commercial career or a particular image.
If I ever wrote a script myself, it would be strongly emotional material.
I really try my best not to get attached to a script, because I know what it takes: It takes you away from your family and what you like to do.
I'm not yet fortunate enough to take only the scripts that capture my fancy, but each one has to be a new experience, to put me in a light that audiences haven't necessarily seen me before.
I feel like if you feel good about a script, and you feel confident about your ability to direct and just capture it right, it's all just, really, really in your favor there.
I always write the script by myself.
I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.
I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don't know if that would be my natural makeup.
Every script has things that would draw me away or draw me towards it. But I just try and choose as wisely as possible - when I get to choose.
I love to be a working actor, and I love to read scripts as they come in. If I find the script or character that is interesting, I want to transform myself into that character.
