Sometimes when a scene is written or directed to be shouted or played incredibly angrily, i always think it's way more terrifying when someone is fuming and talks in a very calm way. i always want people to shout at me if they're angry - it freaks me out that whole thing of, 'i'm not angry i'm just disappointed.'
