Rascal: Running For His Life

En règle générale, il faut généralement trois ou quatre lectures pour que je sois intéressé par un script, et si je suis intéressé, je le lirai trois ou quatre fois avant de prendre une décision forte

Je suis allé avec des chevaux, mais je ne m'appellerais certainement pas un cavalier. C'est une combinaison d'être très conscient d'eux et de ne pas leur faire confiance.

Je soupçonne que beaucoup de dirigeants de studio me considèrent toujours comme «ce que son nom».

Vous notez des idées, des souvenirs, peu importe, concernant votre vraie vie qui est en quelque sorte parallèle au personnage que vous jouez, et vous incorporez cela dans votre travail de scène.

Eh bien, tout ce que je peux dire, c'est Dieu merci, j'ai eu 15 ans de théâtre auparavant, je n'ai jamais joué de rôles cinématographiques. Vous construisez une technique sur laquelle vous pouvez compter

Quand j'ai l'impression de faire de mon mieux, il y a un peu de liberté, un peu de vol que vous n'êtes pas tellement perdant vous-même mais que vous êtes en quelque sorte dans la zone.

En règle générale, il faut généralement trois ou quatre lectures pour que je m'intéresse à un scénario, et si je suis intéressé, je le lis trois ou quatre fois avant de prendre une décision ferme.

J'aime un esprit très sec, pas le grand type d'humour comme Robin Williams. Je ne pense pas que je suis capable de cela.

À mon âge, j'ose dire que je me suis en quelque sorte établi et je n'ai pas à chasser un chèque de paie.

Les bons scripts ont toujours été, je pense, difficiles à trouver. Bonne narration, bonne écriture - ce n'est tout simplement pas facile. J'ai fait un point que - si je vais mettre l'énergie à faire ce travail - j'attendrai que je trouve quelque chose dont je suis vraiment content.

J'ai des recherches, j'ai ma propre expérience de vie que je peux postuler et j'ai mon imagination.

Je ne veux pas devenir chauve, je ne sais pas ce qui va ensuite.

Franchement, ma politique est assez à gauche de gauche.

J'ai eu un couple avec une hypothèque d'amortissement négative sur une maison qui coûte beaucoup trop par rapport à leurs revenus. Ils consomment des biens immobiliers et ne y investissent pas.

Je n'ai jamais été le gars qui a essayé d'aligner trois ou quatre projets sur la route. J'aime trouver une pièce qui me parle puis y verser mon cœur et mon âme. Ensuite, je rentre à la maison, je remonte et je me détends.

Vous devez survivre avec grâce. Vous devez le faire galancement. Comment ces termes archaïques nous semblent dans notre monde moderne. Il y a peu de grâce ou de bravoure dans le commerce ou la politique et pas grand-chose dans l'art.

Vous ne jetez pas toute une vie juste parce qu'il est un peu frappé.

Eh bien, tout ce que je peux dire, c'est Dieu merci, j'ai eu 15 ans de théâtre auparavant, je n'ai jamais joué de rôles cinématographiques. Vous construisez une technique sur laquelle vous pouvez compter.

Vous regardez un troupeau de bétail et bien, ils ont tous la même apparence ... mais ils le savent. Ils ont tous une personnalité individuelle et ces personnalités changent de jour en jour. Ils peuvent avoir leurs jours grincheux et leurs jours heureux et leurs jours sereins. Mais c'est imprévisible. Vous ne pouvez pas vous éloigner dans l'espace lorsque vous avez affaire à des animaux.
