I thought acting was just going on and remembering all of one's lines.
We are having wind and rain here, and I am very glad not to be alone. I work from memory on bad days, and that would not do if I were alone.
In the aftermath of any war or genocide, healing and reconciliation are ultimate aspirations.
Some people perceive Skinner to be complex. I just basically was trying to remember my lines, so I guess that's what they perceive as being complexity.
If you work from memory, you are most likely to put in your real feeling.
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
The play is on top of me all the time, and I am constantly thinking about it. Even when I leave the theatre, I'll mumble the lines to myself or think about the way the character walks or holds himself.
Really, for an actor, it's all about remembering a lot of stuff - and keeping the moustache on.
