My wife and my friends and people around me know that I do tend to distance myself a little bit during the making of a film, but I have to, it's a natural part of the process for me because you are indulging in the headspace of somebody else, you are investing in the psychology of somebody else and you are becoming somebody else, and so there isn't enough room for you and that somebody else.” PeopleKnowsWellsLittlesEnoughAbleFilmBitsProcessNaturalRoomsPsychologyWifeBecomingLittle BitMy FriendsDistanceInvestingMy WifeDistance Myself Author:Guy Pearce
