“A lot of comics aren't their on-screen personas; Chris Rock isn't always ranting and raving. What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke.

“As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way. If I'm being challenged by something on screen, if I don't quite know why it's happening, I want to know I can do the work of pulling it apart and that there'll be something satisfactory about it. If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.” IfsKnowsWayWantI CanSoundCan DoHappeningsArchitectureScreensExecutionPullingViewersLyrical Author:Shane Carruth
“I think what I loved in cinema - and what I mean by cinema is not just films, but proper, classical cinema - are the extraordinary moments that can occur on screen. At the same time, I do feel that cinema and theater feed each other. I feel like you can do close-up on stage and you can do something very bold and highly characterized - and, dare I say, theatrical - on camera. I think the cameras and the viewpoints shift depending on the intensity and integrity of your intention and focus on that.” ThinkingFeelsMeanMomentsFilmCan DoFocusStageLike YouIntegrityTheaterCamerasIntentionExtraordinaryDareScreensCinemaIntensityTheatricalViewpointsCan Do SomethingExtraordinary Moments Author:Benedict Cumberbatch
