When I'm working, I look forward to weekends. Film sets give your time a structure; otherwise, one day can run into another. I often find myself in unusual locations, so Friday nights I might head out with some of the cast and crew to explore the town.

Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.

I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.

Who knows, I have always lived one day at a time. Probably more adventure and excitement.

With TV, you have so much to get done during the day that you don't really have a lot of time to feel your way through it. I know before I walk on the set exactly what I'm going to do. With film you can kind of find your way in it a little more, play with it some.

If you do a scene the right way, you can go home at the end of the day and really feel like you accomplished something.

I get quite fed up being on a film set day after day, six days a week. It can get to be a grind.

If I'm doing a show on Sunday at 7 P.M., that wouldn't be the same show that I'd do at 11 P.M. on a Saturday - it's a different room at a different time of day with different sensibilities. That doesn't mean you have to compromise your art, but it is communication: you have to know how to talk to people.

For me, when I'm making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.

Whenever you have a tight schedule, you sort of have to film whatever you can that day.
