All Due Respect, And Trying To Be

I Want To Be A Great Actor Someday, And I've Decided There's No Use Philosophizing; The Only Way Is To Work At My Craft.

When You Do These Things, You Sort Of Take The Journey. The Journey Is All About How I Can Interweave The Oscar Wilde Story, The Story Of Salome, The Play Itself And What It Is, What It Contains, And My Journey As An Actor, As A Director, As A Filmmaker, As A Person Struggling With Whatever I'm Struggling With - My Own Celebrity, My Own Life. This Is Semi-autobiographical In Terms Of My Commitment To This Kind Of Thing.

A Lot Of Actors Choose Parts By The Scripts, But I Don't Trust Reading The Scripts That Much. I Try To Get Some Friends Together And Read A Script Aloud. Sometimes I Read Scripts And Record Them And Play Them Back To See If There's A Movie. It's Very Evocative; It's Like A First Cut Because You Hear 'she Walked To The Door,' And You Visualize All These Things. 'she Opens The Door' . . . Because You Read The Stage Directions, Too.

Either I Act Or I Die.

It's Not Personal, It's Strictly Business
