Thoughts on acting...
“For me, acting is being myself. The trick is to make my brain believe that I'm someone else for a few hours. It's that simple. And that complicated.”
“Sometimes I pretend I'm someone else when I do mundane things, like grocery shopping. Once I came home with 3 tubes of denture cream and one box of adult diapers. I had really lost myself in the character; I normally buy one tube of denture creme and 3 boxes of adult diapers.”
“I don't know which I prefer - directors who have it planned down to eye blinks, or directors who say 'improvise.' The important things are communication and trust. Nothing else matters when I trust the director.”
“I love acting because I love becoming other people. Apparently that means I'm crazy. But I don't think a crazy person would get so excited about pretending to love a certain soft drink or cable company.”
