It Surprised Me, The Feeling I Got

I Was Never Very Happy With Performing; It Didn't Turn Me On Much.

Great Directors Can Understand The Staging In Such A Way That Can Make A Scene Come Alive. Others Have A Certain Way Of Pacing The Scene.

Francis Ford Coppola Did This Early On. You Tape A Movie, Like A Radio Show, And You Have The Narrator Read All The Stage Directions. And Then You Go Back Like A Few Days Later And Then You Listen To The Movie. And It Sort Of Plays In Your Mind Like A Film, Like A First Rough Cut Of A Movie.

When I Was Younger, I Would Go To Auditions To Have The Opportunity To Audition, Which Would Mean Another Chance To Get Up There And Try Out My Stuff, Or Try Out What I Learned And See How It Worked With An Audience, Because Where Are You Gonna Get An Audience?

When I Was A Younger Actor, I Would Try To Keep It Serious All Day. But I Have Found, Later On, That The Lighter I Am About Things When I'm Going To Do A Big Scene That's Dramatic And Takes A Lot Out Of You, The Better Off I Am When I Come To It.
