David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts since after all it's the actors playing the character.
I never practice before I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them and after that it's about the director taking your hand.
You can't just trust to luck you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.
When you are a character actor they trust you will go in and give them a full character and leave.
For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.
I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
I have a character failing. I am quite incapable of identifying with anything whole-heartedly. Whatever I am doing I am always planning to do something else. I would rather travel than arrive.
I can create countries just as I can create the actions of my characters. That is why a lot of travel seems to me a waste of time.
As far as 'Twilight' goes I'm in love with my character. I'm in love with the whole series. I love doing the fan conventions around the world I love to travel. So wherever it fits in I'd love to continue doing that for the rest of my life. Just meeting the fans who made everything possible from around the world.
