You can make yourself feel better about yourself if you project your shadow side, if you project your own potential for evil onto someone else. By annihilating them and, therefore, your shadow, you bring yourself into some state of purity or reformation.

Giving feels good. It is a form of healing. Not just for you as an individual, but for everyone.

What is their potential for evil; what is their potential for wickedness? That's the only time that those characters become interesting to watch.

My role models are Bettie Page and Mia Kirshner. Every day when Mia comes to work she raises the bar for us all.

Of course, the surest way to free yourself from an existential crisis is through comedy.

The love scenes that worked, regardless of the director, were the ones where the actors weren't fearful. When somebody was fearful, you could see it right away. It takes you out of the story, and that's to be avoided at all costs.

It doesn't seem as if there's that much of a difference between a big production and a little production, other than you have a smaller space in which to get dressed and you have a shorter waiting time.
