It's part of the actor's job to show up with a head full of steam, to have their own take on this. So that way, you're not relying on, 'OK, tell me how to do it.' ”

Some people go to their job. That's the job they have; they have to do it. They hate their boss and their coworkers, this and that. It's hard to get along. ”

I've chosen the parts that have interested me and parts that I thought I could do a job with but also were challenging and a little bit scary. ”
