I would say that the emotional content of the film [Swiss Army Man] took me by surprise, and sometimes I would probably want to capture the unique tone of it.

The only constant I can find is hard work.

You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - whats written and not written.

I went to tranny bars and kind of got used to being around that and then getting dressed up.

Sometimes it's summer camp on location. So it's nice to have a little New York community of people you love.

I was constantly surprised by how things took shape, whether it was something that was funny or [sharp] or some of these more simple, quiet moments in the woods. Honestly I would say everything and nothing. I honestly don't think it's different than on any other film [Swiss Army Man]. I think I would probably ask questions of everything always.

I think carrying your gut, or your instincts, through all the learning, is one of the most important things. You learn to prepare for a part in different ways, you learn to experiment, what you do for the character - you try working in different ways.
