| Saying: | A good trick I learned early on is not to immediately look at playback because once you know the shot, you can see when the camera is on you. It’s best to stay ‘in it’ all the time, and just if it’s on you, it’s on you, and if it’s not, it’s not. It’s the easiest way. I was really into films when I was younger, but I feel like a phony sometimes – I started acting because I didn’t know what else to do. I filled in all these university application forms and honestly didn’t want to do any of the courses. |
