It is the quality of the moment, not the number of days, or events, or of actors, that imports.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think anytime you can do something you haven't seen or done in a film before, it's always a great day as an actor.
As an actor, you arrive most of the time at the last minute. You arrive at the end of the process, but you don't realize it.
You know to me, being a good actor, the most important quality is you've got to love to play, and to just be open to anything.
Actors are conditioned to develop a system for expressing as much as they can in the shortest amount of time because you're going to get all cut up in a movie.
Actors want to surprise themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely.
I think the context of an hour-long drama gives breathing space that you don't get in a film.
These are rare moments in an actor's life, where you're put in an environment which is so natural, and you get natural performances.
My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.
To be on the set with the actors, with the location, every day changes; every day something can go wrong.
Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.
