My show was REVOLUTIONARY, ground-breaking. When I CAME on the SCENE, PEOPLE were not doing a thing.
Chris Cooper once told me to NEVER have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, 'exhaust every POSSIBILITY.' Once you get to a certain place, it's LIKE you just deliver everything you've got. Don't have any regrets. It pops up in my MIND over and over and over again.
I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to THINK of EVERYTHING that would IMPACT a character in any given scene.
