With Theatre, You Have To Be Ready

Plenty Of Bad Movies Are Very Successful, And Plenty Of Good Movies Are Not. And Distribution Is So Crazy, Some Films Won't Even Get Their Day In Court.

I Prefer Shooting On Location, Just Because It Always Helps You. You Go Some Place, You Put Your Life On Hold Even More Than When You've Settled In Some Place. You Can Make A New Life So It Opens Yourself Up To The Make-believe And The Imagination In A Way When You Aren't Burdened By Things That Remind You Of Your Life All The Time.

Usually When You Meet With A Director, Just Meeting Them After You've Seen Something You're Interested In, They Say, "oh I'd Love To Work Together," And Sometimes You Never Hear From Them Again.

That's A Frustration Sometimes, That Certain Directors That I'd Like To Work With, They Just Aren't Doing Stories That I'm Sort Of Castable In. Not Always, But Sometimes I Have That Frustration.

I'm Not Attracted To Naturalism, I'm Not Attracted To Behavior, I'm Attracted To Dance. I'm Attracted To Gesture, I'm Attracted To Singing With Your Voice, As Opposed To Having A Natural Manner. I'm A Theater Actor First, So That Probably Influences A Lot Of My Approach. And I Think In Many Ways, Naturalism Has Ruined Movies.
