But filming is good for you, because the crew isn’t allowed to laugh. You can’t get addicted to getting the laugh.

I’m very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour.

I’m so dependent on reacting to the other actors on the set, and to the director. I’m very responsive. I react. And I treasure the energy that reaction gives.

You need particular note or rhythm in the symphony to be that minor key, or that sharp key or major chord. In musical terms, I try to hit the right note. But not alter the score of the music, just emphasize the note correctly.

I do believe female directors, as well as our female writer, can bring out male vulnerability that some men can’t because they can’t face it.
