Clear Water

I think of acting and writing as pretty much the same thing. It's all about getting inside the skin of your characters, and seeing where they are, and knowing how they've grown up. You have to know all this, like, in your bones, what they've come up against, who they are. And then you just start talking as them. And you write until the rust comes out of the faucet and it's clear water. And you write down the clear water.
