actor

It's the actors being like, "I wouldn't do that."

PAUL NEWMAN, Actor: He's a sissy.

You put all those actors right on your shoulders and you just carry.

What's the most I'm an actor thing you've done today?

I'm very much like locked in with these actors and I feel very intimate and I love the energy of it.

You smoking is such an actor thing today.

It’s not like, “Oh, I recognize that actor from somewhere.”

I remember my one friend, Michael Zegen, the actor — is this great actor — we would be backstage every night, and he would just be so sweet.

And for her grand, ghostly entrance, Oiwa’s actor really would emerge from a flaming lantern, doing an assisted handstand to look as though she’s descending from above.

Going into this role, knowing that, is that thrilling for you as an actor, or does it terrify you?

You feel like you got to react to every single line, or the actors are gonna freak out.

And it was this very sweet, wonderful director, Greg Mottola, who every actor who works with him wants to work with him again.

I just felt like it was such a gift to get to get cast in that and then to play with all those amazing wonderful actors.

And so I knew that, basically, I was asking this kind of ensemble of largely comedic actors, I was like, we're just going to commit to this, and tonally, we'll let the chips fall where they may.
