Oh, Honey, I'm From Oklahoma! This Is Who I Am - Middle-class All The Way!

One Of The Things That I Love When I Go To A Film Or When I'm Reading Some Book Or Whatever, Is To Be Told A Secret I Thought Only I Knew And Then Someone Says, "oh My Gosh, You Know, Too." And Film Can Take Us Into Private Moments In A Way That The Theater, I Think, Kind Of Can't, And That's One Of The Reasons I Like Doing Films. And The Way A Book Can Is That These Little Secrets And The Private Things That Go On In Our Minds That Maybe We Haven't Shared With Anyone, And Then Someone Writes It Or Shows It To You In A Film, You Think, "oh, That's Me. Oh My God, That's Me, I Have That Secret."

I Think Where I've Instinctively Found Myself Is That I Am Somewhat Guarded In My Public Life. Being Interviewed Or Being Photographed Or Just In Public Attention, I Have A Certain Reserve. But When I'm Working I Feel Like I'm Very Open. At Least I Like To Believe That I Feel Like Nothing Is Held Back When I'm In Front Of A Camera. That's My Job.

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.

The Films That Are Interesting You Never Can Stop... There's No End Point, You Just Keep Thinking And Musing About It.
