There are two schools of thought: There are those actors who explain to you that they know exactly how they're going to do the part... And then there is the other method, which is to have no method at all. This is mine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people are always trying to demystify whatever acting is, so they want to know what your method is.
You really can't explain how you do the things you do. I can't, anyway. I love certain actors, but sometimes they say the stupidest things about technique. I don't want to say something stupid.
My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.
People talk about method actors, meaning someone that's prepared very, very well, or whatever they mean when they talk about it. But the right method is whatever works for you. And what works for me on any given day is going to be different.
I wouldn't say I'm a method actor. I do research when I feel I don't have enough experience for the part I'm playing.
I don't know if I'm a method actor.
Everyone seems to think they know what acting techniques are. Techniques just help you get to a certain place, but if the thing is happening just by itself, you don't need those techniques.
Actors are the most generous people when it comes to sharing their technique. But if you grew up in a household of carpenters, and you're making a table, everyone would have a different way of doing it.
I would never assume to tell another actor how to do his job!
I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.
