Character Love Is Play

More From Michael Sheen

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.

[on playing walter] it was wonderful to be able to play a character who had so many colors and who was able to play comedy, to play incredibly vulnerable, which he did a lot of the time, to play the love story, and to play the relationship with the son, which is quite unusual. that's a gift to me, as an actor. it was like everything you could possibly hope for, over five years. so, i was a very lucky actor.

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Coming at the acting business as a technician, i really enjoy the process of working. i really enjoy being in a rehearsal room, starting a theatre piece for the first time. i really enjoy shooting in front of the crew, and i really love going on location. i think all that is just so exciting. so i've never really been drawn into the fame of being an actor, which in l.a., is part and parcel of the deal. i think for a lot of people, especially kids, it's hard to not get wrapped up in the world of the perks that the job brings.

Thanks to art, instead of seeing one world only, our own, we see that world multiply itself and we have at our disposal as many worlds as there are original artists, worlds more different one from the other than those which revolve in infinite space, worlds which, centuries after the extinction of the fire from which their light first emanated, whether it is called rembrandt or vermeer, send us still each one its special radiance.

If you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.

I love scoring. putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?

But some actors i have met possess an intelligence that i can only dream of. it's about character, it's about behavior. they understand things about people that i simply don't see.
