Do What You're Doing While You're Doing

I Could Almost Say It Is My Religion. I Guess That Sounds Pretentious, But I Want To Live And Breathe Cinema.

I Grew Up With Scientology - My Parents At One Point Were Clerical. It's A Pragmatic Philosophy, Not Merely A Belief System. Yeah, It's Had Media Exposure Because Certain Luminaries Do Scientology, But Millions Of People Do It Who Are Not Celebrities. It's Not A Threat Or Some Cult.

My Mother Told Me I Was Begging Her To Be An Actor When I Was Four. My Father And My Grandfather Saw At Least One Or Two Movies A Week; They Were Film Buffs, So I Guess It Just Rubbed Off On Me.

A Lot Of Writers, Because They Don't Understand Actors, Feel Like, In Order To Be Better At Their Performance, They Have To Change The Words Around A Lot.

What An Actor Says Is Much, Much Less Important Than A Life, So That's The Great Use For Improvisation; You Go, You Find The Life And Then You Add The Words.
