I always put on M.A.C. Prep and Primer before anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.
I'm so OCD about prep work and learning lines and stuff.
I have a very clear vision as to what I want at the end of my prep, and then I throw it out and let the creative process take over.
I spend a lot of time preparing. I think a lot about what I want to do. I have prep books, little notebooks in which I write everything down before a sitting. Otherwise I would forget my ideas.
Example is the best precept.
The majority of my work is about preparation.
I'm usually very analytical when I'm prepping stuff: real into the head thing.
I'm the sort of actor who doesn't really prep a lot - I don't do a lot of research for parts. I just go for it, and I usually pull through.
I never prepare. I think that's completely overrated. It's a very simple job. All you have to do is hit this bright mark, stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don't really believe in preparation.
Certain things you have to stumble on to. They can't be preprogrammed.
