I Grew Up With Such An Affinity

I'm Able To Lead My Life As Well As Make A Film. My Wife And My Friends And People Around Me Know That I Do Tend To Distance Myself A Little Bit During The Making Of A Film, But I Have To, It's A Natural Part Of The Process For Me Because You Are Indulging In The Headspace Of Somebody Else, You Are Investing In The Psychology Of Somebody Else And You Are Becoming Somebody Else, And So There Isn't Enough Room For You And That Somebody Else.

I Don't Want To Make A Habit Of Just Playing Small Roles, Because I Really Enjoy The Process Of Being Part Of A Film And Staying On It For The Length Of Time That Everybody Else Is As Well.

I'll Generally Write Out Every Scene That's In The Film On A Couple Of Pieces Of Paper, Just With A Little One-line. And Then I Can Scan It A Bit And Go, 'this First Third Of The Film, Generally, I'm Kind Of Calm.' Then I Might Do Something On One Piece Of Paper That Just Relates To The Energy Of The Character.

You Do Feel Kind Of Nervous About Any Film You Take On.

It's Really Interesting Making Films And Actually Seeing The Life That They Have In The Subsequent Years And Seeing Which Ones Stand Up Over Time And Which Ones Sort Of Fade Away.
