It is a matter of mere coincidence that there is often a real individual who corresponds with a celebrity, signifies them.
Genes do not make an individual homosexual. They play their part, but so does the rest of the universe.
Adam & Eve have been degraded, reduplicated forever, photocopies of photocopies, mistakes copied, magnified, augmented.
Nothing’s random. Even if it looks that way, it’s just because you don’t know the causes.
Most of my movies are indies. The best scripts I can find are independent films. But I love big-budget movies, I love craft services!
Every time I read a script, I see the movie in my head, and I try to see the best movie in my head because everybody interprets the movie differently.
We taped all this and then got it transcribed and picked the best lines or ideas or ways to take a scene. I've done that many times, and it can improve the script but also wreck a perfectly good scene.
I find it easier to play someone who is so far from me because you create someone - you build this person based on the story and the script, with the director.
Within a few weeks of coming back from filming 'Lemonade Mouth,' I got these scripts, and 'Terra Nova' was the one that stuck out. I was like, 'Oh my gosh'.
When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.
I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.
You know when you've found a part that you want to play. You know it because the part takes you over. It sits in the script waiting for you to play him.
I envision the script as a story in my mind, memorize the entire thing and have it play out. It helps me figure out where my character needs to go.
There's editing, and scripts to read and edit, and casting, and all the elements of production that just sort of take up the normal downtime that you would have as an actor. So there's not a lot of that for me.
I often have scripts sent to me with allegedly Scottish characters where I end up telling them, 'You're going to have to rethink this whole thing!'
The first script I got was Narc and I really responded to it; it reminded me of a '70s type movie, I really liked the characters, I didn't anticipate the ending.
As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.
I'm such a fan of Daniel Waters, who wrote the script, and also Mark Waters, his brother, who directed. 'Vampire Academy' has, I think, an iconic director.
Walking down the path of dreams, inner-self and listening to your heart are all different names given to your hidden scripts.
I enjoy the details. I enjoy coming up with ideas for improving the script, changing scenes and deciding what locations and wardrobe should be - the process of making a film.
