My greatest strength as an actor is that I follow my director’s brief completely. The film is always the director’s visual baby.
The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.
I signed on with Disney to star and choreograph an original film.
No one forces me, or any other writer, to sell a film option on the books. If you don’t want to run the risk that the filmmakers may adapt your work in a way you don’t like, then you don’t sell the option. You know when you sell it that they will have to make…
Doing a play, you have a little bit more time, obviously. You rehearse for a month before you get up in front of people. It’s a totally different energy. With film, TV, you want to try to capture lightning-in-a-bottle moments. I don’t try to rehearse as much with that stuff, because you want those sparks…
In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.
