I did my friend's film - this guy Harrison Atkins who's a great filmmaker. He just makes movies with all his friends, and I think that's all what we're striving for - to feel like we're among friends and people who care about each other. I'd like to think that good work comes from that - from a sort of loving and friendly environment.
Peter VackIf you feel like you're working with good people, you give them your humanity and just let it happen.
Peter VackI'm four and a half years older than my sister - it's an interesting age difference. Growing up it feels like a big rift. Then you get older and you realize it's not. But for a while there, we really didn't have much to do with each other - mostly because I should have been a better older brother. I'm making up for lost time. I want that in print so she can read it.
Peter VackIf you're in something and you feel like it's not going well, what can you do about that? It's out of your hands. No matter what you do, you're not going to fix that as an actor.
Peter VackYou would almost think it would be the opposite, but making a film sort of made me freer in my acting.
Peter VackMy philosophy is that if you're playing a moment truthfully, that it's a funny moment, then hopefully it will be funny. I like to just go for a truth in the work as much as I can. There's a lack of ego when you're working with comedy that I really love. It's hard to come up with something funny. It's become a fun game in a way. Everyone is going for the gold, for that humor.
