“I don't take off as many days as most other producers and songwriters, so I'm working every single day, and I do songs every day.

“Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.'

“A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well.

“I think it's my job to like any character I play - to understand and appreciate a character, to look at the world as much as possible from their point of view. I don't look at it just technically: learn the lines, figure out what gestures I want to bring and play, and that's it.

“When I'm following what a character does in a book I don't have to think about my own life. Where I am. Why I'm here. My moms and my brother and my old man. I can just think about the character's life and try and figure out what's gonna happen. Plus when you're in a group home you pretty much can't go anywhere, right? But when you read books you almost feel like you're out there in the world. Like you're going on this adventure right with the main character. At least, that's the way I do it.

“I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself.

“It's a fine balance between design and the thing making itself happen. The stroke has to have complete precision to work. Sometimes I lose it on the exit. You can't fudge it.

“Beauty has so many charms, one knows not how to speak against it; and when it happens that a graceful figure is the habitation of a virtuous soul, when the beauty of the face speaks out the modesty and humility of the mind, and the justness of the proportion raises our thoughts up to the heart and wisdom of the great Creator, something may be allowed it,--and something to the embellishments which set it off; and yet, when the whole apology is read, it will be found at last that beauty, like truth, never is so glorious as when it goes the plainest.” KnowsMindHeartMaySoulWholeHappensLastsFacesFoundSpeakBeautyFiguresHumilityRaisesCreatorGloriousCharmProportionApologyVirtuousModestyOur ThoughtsSpeaks OutEmbellishment Book:The Works of Laurence Sterne: With a Life of the Author Source: The Works of Laurence Sterne: With a Life of the Author
