"You take what you consider to be your little particle of awareness. So you’re writing a character who’s just dug up a grave and he’s driving back to a hotel. And it’s 3 in the morning. You take your particle of awareness and you BE that person. Like, try to be in their chair. (…) Fuck, you’ve been driving for 16 hours. It’s three in the morning.

Fabulous, right? :D

As always!

So true! I've long believed that there's a lot in common between writing and acting in that you have to get inside of a character's head and know their motivations and their experiences and the way they move and sound.

Yeah. You know I was interested in acting for a while for that very reason. And then I remembered how I don't like being the center of attention or memorizing shit and came to my senses. Haha.

"When you walked to the car there was crunching in the treads of your shoes that made you think about how many other graves you’ve had to dig up."

Whoah, lovely.

And it's quite reassuring, isn't it? Our boys are in good hands (most of the time).
