If my characters travel somewhere, I generally write about a place I know to give the scenes more authenticity.
As an actor, it's my job to prepare myself for a role. If the character is realistic, one can't go wrong.
I am not of the vein of actors - and I will not pretend to be one - that takes my character home with me. I don't.
To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.
The skin of my character in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' was some concoction, a spermatozoon of an alien nature that was obscene and weird-looking.
I have a collection of lucky pennies, and I like to carry some of them with me. So far, they seem to be working!
Sometimes when I'm not working, I go and teach at an acting school, and quite selfishly, that makes me feel more inspired to do things myself.
All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient.
I'm trying to look into each character and try to realize her as someone who is also me.
