In The Normal Life Of An Actor

Jebediah Woodley Is One Of Those Guys That When I'm Sitting In My Rocking Chair One Day, Thinking Back, I'll Remember That Guy. He Was A Fun Guy To Play.

At Least Once A Week, I Try To Have One Day Where I Have Nothing Planned So I Can Get Up And Just Go Back To Bed And Lay Around And Recharge My Batteries.

I Know What Its Like To Direct. You Become A More Considerate Actor. After You Have Directed, You Understand What Is Going On. You Can't Help But Think Of The Material As A Director. You Do Come Up With Suggestions. You Come Up With Shortcuts That You Weren't Aware Of Before. You Try To Be Helpful To The Director If He Has A Lot On His Hands.

As You Get Older, It's Important To Have Goals. When You're A Kid You Have Them, But Other People Can Set Them For You, Such As Your Parents, Your School... So, As You Get Older It's Nice To Have Your Own Goals, Which Don't Have To Do With Being More Famous, Or Being In Bigger Movies, Or Making More Money. Those Things Kind Of Corrupt Your Soul.

Unless You're Playing A Real Character Based On A Real Person, If Someone Else Has Done It Before, You're Probably Better Off Not Watching It As An Actor. Otherwise You End Up Trying To Copy Someone Else.
