I Want To Be A Great Actor

A Lot Of Actors Choose Parts By The Scripts, But I Don't Trust Reading The Scripts That Much. I Try To Get Some Friends Together And Read A Script Aloud. Sometimes I Read Scripts And Record Them And Play Them Back To See If There's A Movie. It's Very Evocative; It's Like A First Cut Because You Hear 'she Walked To The Door,' And You Visualize All These Things. 'she Opens The Door' . . . Because You Read The Stage Directions, Too.

I Like, For Instance, 'serpico.' I Enjoyed Playing Serpico Because Frank Serpico Was There. He Existed. He Was A Real Life Person And I Could - I Could Embody Him. I Could, You Know, I Could Work And Get To Know Him And Have Him Help Me With The Text, The Script And Become Him. It's Almost Like A Painter Having A Model To Become.

[salomaybe] Is My Presentation, My Vision Of The World. Not So Much To Satisfy The Audience At Large.

Sometimes What We Imagine And The World Aren't Different Things. Sometimes They Are The Same Exact Thing.

Vanity Is My Favourite Sin.
