When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home.
I have so much respect for directors. It's a tremendous amount of pressure; you have to keep steadfast and keep what you know is right.
I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.
It's important not to indicate. People don't try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.
If it's a very emotional scene, you're kind of relieved when you've done it, kind of spent. And there are times when you can be rattled, certain characters if they're hyper, that can carry over, the residue of that. But I try to leave it on the set.
In acting, I always try to go back to what would actually be the real situation, the real human behavior in life.
