I think everybody works from a defensive position, for the most part, in the film industry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When actors are being defensive and defending their position, that is when you get less than good acting.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
I think that in order to be a film director, one has to be a warrior who shouldn't be defeated by the daily onslaught of problems.
In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't.
Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork, and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place.
So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.
People working in films are somewhat like gypsies: we move from set to set and spent weeks, sometimes even longer working while shooting a film. Right from the spot boys to the make-up guys and cast and crew, we become a kind of family.
When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.
Working in film tends to isolate actors - it's your close-up; it's all about you.
