A Lot Of Acting Is Working With

We Want To Be Seen For Who We Really Are, And Each Person Has His Own Complex Story And Reasons For Doing What They Do.

I Had Never Met An Actress Or An Actor When I Thought That I Might Like To Be One. I Had Never Been Around People In Show Business Or From The Theater Or From Movies Or Anything. And I Say That As An Encouragement, I Don't Know Some People Who Want To Be Doing What I'm Doing Or Be Involved In Film. You Don't Have To Be From It To Get Interested And Get Involved. I Certainly Wasn't.

Modern Acting Is Method Acting, Most Of It. And There Are Sort Of Different Schools, So I Guess I'm Not Really From One School Or Another. I Had A Number Of Different Teachers But They Were All Kind Of Drawing From The Same Pool, Which Is - What Do You Want? What Are You Doing To Get What You Want? And, What Is In The Way? These Are Basic Acting Questions. Knowing The Answers To Those Questions. So You're Talking About Objectives And Actions And Obstacles. That's A Sort Of Shorthand That Gives You A Language.

I'm Just As Intrigued By Acting As Ever. It's An Ongoing Process. There's No Arrival. There's No Point At Which You Say "oh, Ok, Done It, Got It." It Just Doesn't Happen. And That's True Of Any Creative Endeavor. For Me, It's Just A Lifelong Interest. I'm Very Much Interested In The Craft. I Started By Doing Plays And It Took Me A Long Time To Feel Comfortable Doing Movies, Working With Cameras. I Felt Like I Was A Theater Actress Pretending That I Was A Movie Actress For Quite A While. Now, I Just Love The Process Of Working With Cameras And Being On A Set And Trying To Put A Film Together.

Movie Is A Near Art Form. It's Showbiz And People Want To Make Money. And Generally People Are Financing Things Because They Think It Will Make Money Whether It's A Cable News Show, A Cable Show, Or A Feature Film, Or Whatever It Is. So That's The Part Of It That Drives It, I Think, Is Really The Dollar.
