When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I’m going to do a big scene that’s dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.
Any project that I find encouraging that isn’t attached to a studio, I can go to them, which I definitely would. You have to take an interest in what you do.
And I didn’t think about the material as much. But sometimes I’ve thought about the material a lot and thought I was doing the right thing, and it didn’t work out.
