An Actor Basically Likes To Be Asked

I'm An Actor, And Everything About Me - The Way I Perceive Things, The Way I Have Seen The World - Has Been In Relation To Characters And How I Would Want To Play Something Or Not Play It.

Learning (shakespeare's Plays) ...in School Was A Bit Of A Bore.

I Always Had This Thing, When I Was Younger Especially, I Didn't Want To Do Movies That Much. I Found They Took A Lot Out Of You And They Were Exhausting For Me In A Lot Of Ways.

I Like, For Instance, 'serpico.' I Enjoyed Playing Serpico Because Frank Serpico Was There. He Existed. He Was A Real Life Person And I Could - I Could Embody Him. I Could, You Know, I Could Work And Get To Know Him And Have Him Help Me With The Text, The Script And Become Him. It's Almost Like A Painter Having A Model To Become.

You Don't Get To Know Anybody In A Movie Until After It's Over. You Work Less Together In A Film Than You Do Onstage.
