I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.
Friends are very understanding when you tell them in April that you can see them next September, but there is a limit to how long you can go on like that.
I don't really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.
