| Saying: | A good trick I learned early on is to not watch the replay right away because once you know the shot, you can tell when the camera is on you. It’s best to stay ‘in it’ all the time, and only if it’s on you, it’s on you, and if it’s not, it’s not. That’s the easiest way. I was very involved in films when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like a fake – I started acting because I didn’t know what else to do. I filled out all those university application forms and honestly didn’t want to take any of the courses. |
