I've dealt with a few method actors, and i don't know if should say this, but i think it's a bunch of nonsense. i think it's film acting and you just have to be on when the camera is rolling.

Thinking Acting Cameras

More From Natalie Portman

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.
People Training
No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. so my method is to read the script. some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. me, i believe strictly in acting. if i am out of breath, i'm out of breath. i ain't running nowhere.
Running Believe Reality
I have received the digital camera as a blessing. it has really changed my life as a filmmaker, because i don't use my camera anymore as a camera. i don't feel it as a camera. i feel it as a friend, as something that doesn't make an impression on people, that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable, and that is completely forgotten in my way of approaching life and people and film.
Blessing People Cameras
If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.
Children Thinking Trying
The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.
Character Sleep Laughing
I ask my assistants if they're retarded all the time. when the camera is on you, of course, actors have the ability to make it real. for me, if i'm not talking, it is a problem. i have so much more respect for actors after being in front of the camera, and i realize that the hardest part is when you're not talking. listening is harder than just acting. listening is the hardest part.

I read real books. on paper. you know, those printed books? i feel like this is the last thing i do to support my industry. i think they smell great, too.
Real Book Thinking
Wealth is, for most people, the only honest and likely path to liberty. with money comes power over the world. men are freed from drudgery, women from exploitation. businesses can be started, homes built, communities formed, religions practiced, educations pursued. but liberals aren't very interested in such real and material freedoms. they have a more innocent - not to say toddlerlike - idea of freedom. liberals want the freedom to put anything into their mouths, to say bad words and to expose their private parts in art museums.
