“You can intellectualize and think about a character or a scene as much as you want, but in the end acting happens in the moment, in the present moment. And the best thing you can do is to let your internal awareness bring you from moment to moment and to be receptive and to listen and to pay attention to the other actors, because there’s a danger in thinking too much that you will ignore what’s really happening and you’ll miss those moments.”
