It’s very easy to find even great actors reading it more like a reading. Things aren’t really coming alive yet, even though you know they will.

I think that for ‘Good Will Hunting’ I had an Elliot Smith record or a couple of them and I just somehow felt like the sound had something to it that reminded me of the story. So in that case there was music beforehand.
