I don't really have a process. I'm very much an in-the-moment actress. I suppose I just kind of wing it because I feel that as long as I know my character, I should be able to be spontaneous on set.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have a process; I just feel it. My book on acting would be very short.
I've always found that acting has been quite a hard thing to pre-manage because so much of it is spontaneous and the circumstances so uncontrolled.
You must plan to be spontaneous.
Honestly, every person, every individual has a process, and my philosophy, whether it's an actor or an animator, is you try to understand the process that person has so you can get the most out of them, but I think you have to sort of manipulate that process with honesty.
I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don't.
I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
I am more spontaneous than my character.
What you're doing is acting with yourself. Well, I'm my favourite actor, so in a way it's quite straightforward for me.
I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me.
