Yeah, I think on my resume it still says that - that I can juggle.

I have been taking some classes in woodworking. It's really helpful just looking at a problem, and having a very tangible way in constructing it.

Yeah, I do get to do some theater occasionally. I don't get to do it as much as I would like to.

Delving deeper into character's motivations one thing I always find helpful is to imagine the person as a child, imagine them at a very early stage, prior to having all of the things taken away from them, or all of the habits put onto them that they end up having, and then going from there.

Between films you try to fill your life with hobbies; acting is really so satisfying when you're doing it, and definitely feeds your imagination and creativity to a great degree, but you can't really take much away from it to show for it. I try to fill my time with other things.

I would be so curious to wire my brain up and see what's occurring when I act, because a performance is such a heightened state. I've always found that with doing theatre especially. It's so hard to come down.
