Acting Is Not About Being Famous, It's

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.

One Of The Things On A Very Practical Level As An Actor Or Actress Is That When You Do A Play, You Do The Entire Story Every Time You Do It. You Have Eight Shows A Week. You Have A Rehearsal Process Of Four To Five To Six Weeks. And Then Once You're In Performance, Everybody Else Goes Away And You're There With Your Fellow Actors And The Audience And The Material And Your Life Becomes About That. And You Go Through The Story From The Beginning To The End Every Time You Do It And Depending On How Long You Do It, That's Where The Craft Comes In.

I Love Watching People Listen. And On Film Often Some Of The Best Moments If You Think About Favorite Moments On Film, Often The Person Isn't Even Talking.

Of Course, You Can Never Watch Something Like Somebody Else Watches Something Like You, But Nonetheless, You Have To Try. So I Think On Camera You Learn A Lot About How Much The Camera Does For You, Which Is What Is The Great Luxury Of Movie Acting. Or Acting Whether It's Tv Or Movies Or Whatever It Is, That The Camera's Really Such A Gift Because There's So Much That It Sees And Does If You're Willing To Just Be Open And Expose Yourself And All Of That. So You Also Learn What Doesn't Matter. And Sometimes When You Think About Things, You Think Things Matter That Don't Matter.

I Like That I've Been Through Things, That When Something Happens, It Resonates With Something That Already Happened. It's Not That Things Like Loss Are More Or Less Painful. But They're Deeper. I Find That Fascinating.
