I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.
Frances McDormandI'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
Frances McDormandThereโs no desire to be an adult. Adulthood is not a goal. Itโs not seen as a gift. Something happened culturally: No one is supposed to age past 45 โ sartorially, cosmetically, attitudinally. Everybody dresses like a teenager. Everybody dyes their hair. Everybody is concerned about a smooth face.
Frances McDormandI don't need a director who's 'good with actors.'...A master manipulator is heaven.
