I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

Lifetime
With film, so much is in the director’s hands. Once something is cut together – unless you’re in the editing room – you don’t really remember what the alternatives are.

I like a director who is very observant and is watching what I’m doing and noticing what I’m doing, but is giving me time to figure it out. They don’t jump right in and give you a note before you’ve had time to really search on your own with how to do a scene.

Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down.

Joints Running Yoga
I know it sounds earnest, but I do really feel in my bones that acting is just a small part of the equation when you are making a movie. The director really is in charge. Actors are as important or unimportant as the rest of the people around them.

Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

Ideas Sometimes Track
As an actor, you’re only one little piece of the puzzle; you’re fulfilling someone else’s vision. If you’re involved earlier on, you’re kind of creating your own.
