When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm learning more and more to share creativity with the crew and actors. A film crew is more powerful if you listen to them, but it does make my job more tough because I have to listen.
But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.
When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It's just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.
When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.
Working crew made me realise that the actors are a very small part of a very big machine, with each part being vital to make the show work. It so important to remember that it's not about you, it's about the show, and working crew hammered that point home to me.
Film is a collective experience, as you know.
I come from a theatrical background, where, if you're working on a movie or a play, you always respect the people you work with. You're accommodating.
Working in film tends to isolate actors - it's your close-up; it's all about you.
As an actor... at some point you've got to forget that the crew's there in order to do your job.
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.
