When you're a director, you really live whatever you do.
You must lose yourself if you want to be successful in animation and be the character.
The only way out is to go so far in.
When you have fun doing something, you should immerse yourself in it completely.
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
I am not playing on stage. I am living the situation. I cannot cut emotions and sing. I never save myself.
go in over your head, not just up to your neck.
The process with the play, obviously, it belongs to you by the time you're stepping on stage in front of that audience for the first time. You can change it by just a look or things you're not even conscious of, but it's such a full immersion.
You get a script and you love it. You find a director that you trust, and it becomes all about how do I commit to this as fully as possible? And the last thing you can afford to have in your mind is what are other people going to think of this?
I must like my profession, since I can hardly distinguish myself from it.
