When I was a kid, I thought movies just came from air. I thought they just appeared.
I've played all kinds of historical characters, but they are stuck in movies that aren't their movies.

The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.
I was imagining films in my head and trying to gather friends together to make movies since I was a kid. I tried to do comedy skits and a horror film.
I don't miss acting. I don't even see movies. I don't see plays. I don't watch television.
