Making A Film Or Doing A Play

I Think All Actors Have A Similar Deal. You Want Some People Who Understand. Although It Looks Great - And Is Great - There Are Also Shoddy Moments When You Feel Really Rotten, And When It's Going Well, You're Not Allowed To Complain.

I'm Just One Gigantic Ball Of Rancid Fear And Self-consciousness. I'm Entirely Fueled By Fear, So The Fact That I Knew It Could Be A Catastrophic Disaster Made Me Unable To Sleep, And Made Me Work Quite Hard.

I Find That What Doubt Does, Or Fear, Is It Makes You Come Up With As Many Ideas As You Possibly Can. And On Film That Works 'cause You're Then Handing Over That Fear To The Director, Who Has To Make Sense Of All Those Options!

I Have This Horrific Thing Where I'm Really Bad With Names And Faces. I Have An Appalling Memory. Someone Will Come Up To Me In The Street And Go, 'eddie!', And I'll Try And Give Myself Time By Going Into Overdrive, 'hey, Hi! Nice To See You!' And Start A Whole Conversation Because I Can't Distinguish Between Who I Know And Who I Don't.

I Always Think Of Comedy As Being Spontaneous, And Yet Everything About Filmmaking Is Not Spontaneous.
