The first thing, the main thing, about how I work is I need to understand the character.
Im so lucky to have the opportunity to work with some directors and some actors I wouldnt have dared to think I would work with one day.
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it’s really disturbing.
