“The more that I think of myself, truly, in the best sense of the word, as a vessel for the writer, as simply there to present the writer’s ideas, the less self-conscious I become and the more I am able to lose myself completely. I think that I’m one of the few actors now on a film set who doesn’t ever look at the video. It’s become habitual for actors to get up after a take and run and watch, and I think it’s a mistake, and I think directors should ban actors from doing it ... because I think that every time you go over to the video, no matter how honest you’ve been on camera, there’s a shard of you that says ‘I look better if I do this’ or ‘Oh my voice’ ... Now I won’t look because I want the process to be the reward.”
