I guess you wouldn't dare to dream that you would get to the end of five years.
I've got a good family to support me, so I'm grounded in that way.
I have a younger brother.
I've never been a great cook.
I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script.
Also "Catcher in the Rye", which happens to be one of my favorite books, I just found that kind of useful. It helps you get into the American accent.
