It's sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you're dealing with.

I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish.

The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.

We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.

Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.

Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.

Be the weirdest little weird in all Weird Town.

Who knows whether there may not be a moment in childhood when the world changes forever, like making a face when the clock strikes?
