Two things, I do dialogue on some projects and sometimes I do a full script. Both have different styles. When I got the script, the first thing that came to my mind was, who are these people? I talked to the director and the writer. Then I try to write my own essay about the characters and their world. This way I can understand the character well. So when I write a scene with a character, I try to understand all of that about the character. ”
