And as an actor, you try and manipulate your feelings to match what you think you'd be going through in a situation where your character is going through something. I don't know Shakespeare! I'm not a serious actor. Directors always make references, and I go: "Ah, I'll check it out," and I never, ever do. I'm incredibly lazy. I'm going to sound a little weird here, but I like to spend a lot of time on my own in the woods.
I don't exactly sneak off in the middle of the night, but I like to be in a place where no one can reach me by phone or e-mail. I'm one of those actors who likes to stay in character between takes. I drive other actors crazy but, to me, the most important thing when I'm making a film is that the character takes precedence.
I become obsessed with whoever I'm playing. I want to explore the character as completely as I can. The moment an actor becomes satisfied with themselves, their work suffers. I think that we should always challenge ourselves in work. I live a really boring life. I don't want to do much of anything when I'm not working. It's important that any woman I know shouldn't need to be stimulated outside the house, because I can't provide that.
It's a bad idea for actors to grow accustomed to seeing themselves on camera, because inevitably you start doing things and become too self-conscious.
The only way to prevent it is by not being aware of yourself in that way or at least trying not to be. First of all, I really think that the greatest fear for actors, is reaching the point in which they go, "God, I'm good at this", because I think the work will really suffer.
It's not a conscious effort, it's just I always hope I can do justice to the films and characters. I feel that I've been choosy in my roles as much as I can be, and I only work on films that I really want to make. Of course, I've had slips. When I was about 12 I stayed with a friend in San Diego. They got pizza, and I was like, "I'm having some motherfucking pizza. I ate two slices and vomited for two days.
I'm strange in that I crave salad and vegetables. I've never really had a sweet tooth, and I don't particularly like foods that are too rich. I'm a parent's dream. There's just nothing. We're gone. If I do have a soul, I don't think it's interpreting life, feelings or experience. My brain is what's making sense of experience and feelings for me.
So when that fucker's cut off, how can I possibly understand or feel anything? I didn't get offered movies; I got offered four, and I did those movies. Let's be honest: If I were six-foot-two, blond and incredibly muscular, they would have been banging down my door. Any actor who doesn't admit that is wrong. But once you've established yourself, you try to break out to the other place The irony is that I am suddenly being offered all those things usually offered to the six-foot-two blond guy with the big chest.
And I'm going, "Are you motherfuckers crazy? I'm finally fucking starting to get into some real work, and now you want me to make movies where I run around with a fucking gun, chasing dudes? Once I became a total buffoon, it was so liberating. Part of why I was frustrated with acting was because I took it so seriously. I want it to be so good that I get in my own way. It's like love: when you fall in love you're not yourself anymore.
You lose control of being natural and showing all the beautiful parts of yourself, and all somebody recognizes is total desperation. Bubbles was Michael Jackson 's pet monkey, and I was Paul's pet monkey. I didn't mind I at all. I love having a master.
I was eight, and though I knew it wasn't real and they were actors, I was emotionally affected by it. I felt the adrenaline race through my body. There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight and they go, "Whoa, this is incredible" and grow up to do extreme sports.
It's the same for me with acting. Lynne's Lynne Ramsay always chasing something, and that's who you want to work with. Filmmakers who have a strong feeling and will pursue it to the end. And auteurs are ultimately responsible for the movie. Some movies, the producer, the studio, they're all putting in their fucking bits and, you know - fuck that movie!
I'm Jewish But I don't think I've ever been very religious, no, though I do consider myself a spiritual person. I appreciate a lot of traditions from various faiths. I'm on a path. We should always shake up the system, even if it's a system that we think is working. I've always loved the rebel element. My lighter worked fine until you came in. Casey [Affleck] and I are still great friends. We got tattoos together. He actually has this video of me crying like a girl when I got it done. It was on the inside of my arm, which is incredibly sensitive and painful for a tattoo.
And I think the guy was drunk at the time, because I wanted a circle and it doesn't even look like one. I mean, how can you screw up a circle? I get butterflies every time. I'm vomiting days before we start shooting. Yes [Mel Gibson was nice], but he is very intense and constantly had a lot of theories going on at the same time. I let my character in the movie [Signs] get a bit inspired by him. He conspired against me. Well I think it was Mel. There was a scene, where I had to sit in a wardrobe and watch TV, that began with being dark in the room.
When we had to do the shot for the 14th time they turned the light out in the room and went for lunch. I was sitting there for 20 minutes, just waiting. We hung around on the set quite a bit. It seemed like such fun what he was doing. When your older siblings do gymnastics, you want to do gymnastics. When they listen to Squeeze, you listen to Squeeze, so I wanted to act.
One day I got to be in a scene with River. We were supposed to cry because someone was fighting. River started crying right away and it made me cry. It felt so real. It was a shocking revelation.
I closed my eyes [ took a hellish roller-coaster ride in a theme park recently]. I clutched the person next to me and just wept like a coward. My friends called me a coward, and they pushed me and taunted me, like it's a funny thing.
But I said, 'Guys, that's not cool'. I've been doing interviews since I was 15 and I still have no idea what to expect or how to answer most of the questions. It always makes me as nervous as the first time I walked into one of these interview sessions.
Talking about myself is the most alien thing possible. Trumpet is beautiful, even just one note of it. Thing is, I bitched to my teacher about playing scales. I just wanted to learn songs. But this friend of mine said, 'Hey, just get into the sound of it,' and I was like, cured within a day. I'm always surprised when there's a female person who think's I'm attractive. With Liv, it was a totally natural thing.
You see someone that you have great feelings for, and it's mutual - and that's that. I didn't sit there and think, oh wow, this is Liv Tyler, because I've never thought of her in that way. Other people think of her as that girl on the magazine covers, but I don't see that. She's just a girl that I know - it's very simple. Oh, my God, forget it. I've no idea. I've never played an athlete. Not even a failed athlete! People say, "You've got everything going for you! You can do anything you want!
I'm confident that I'll work, but I hope it's something that will mean something to me. Sometimes I feel like I'm behind and running out of time as it is. There's still a lot more for me to do. And yeah, it's yellow, but you know how much a paint job costs?
I'm nuts about him [Sean Penn]. I came onto the set about a month after they'd started shooting [U-Turn] and I was terrified because they shot everything so quickly. Sean was an absolute veteran actor sweetheart - he took me under his wing, calmed me down and said nice things to me. He very much put me at ease. He's a wonderful, intelligent fellow who shared some of his poetry with me, about memory.
Night Shyamalan] I think all of his films ask, What is our purpose as humans? Night is a believer in fate. When I work, I try and stick to my work. Sometimes you miss out on things. Even his costumes or wardrobe when filming must be vegan-friendly. No one expected it but in , Joaquin Phoenix announced that he would stop his acting career after shooting James Gray 's film Two Lovers , in order to turn to hip hop and rap.
The actor changed physically. He gained weight, he grew out his hair and beard. His comments seemed inconsistent. But all this was actually a hoax on the actor's part in preparation for his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck 's, fake documentary centered around Joaquin Phoenix. I'm Still Here was released in The great consecration came at the beginning of You may read full biography about Joaquin Phoenix from Wikipedia. Chris Archer.
