I always take kind of a zen view of casting and I really don't remember people who passed. I kind of turn it over to the universe and figure, 'Wow, I guess that wasn't meant to be.' It doesn't sit with me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes it's all about the casting.
I always look at people and think how I would cast them.
I always wonder why people cast me in anything.
Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.
Casting is sort of like looking at paintings. You don't know what you'll like, but you recognize it when you see it.
Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.
I was not easy to cast, but also, I have never been typecast.
I was just standing around and suddenly I was cast as an extra. I hated it because I was so shy.
I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.
I only really cast people who are desperate to be in it - who were dying to be in it, whose talent I believed in and were dead ready to do the work that was necessary.
