Beautiful Past Order
When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. just remember that. but if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. you keep going on stage, you go forward. every night you go on stage.

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.

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.
