My way of working was different years ago. I used to wait until an idea came to me. Now I go half-way to meet it, though I don't know whether I find it any the quicker.
Working with children is very different than the way in which I work with adults. One has to work just as much with children as with adults, but the manner of work is very different. I never tell the children the actual truth of the thing that I want them to act.
On the set, I'm a businessman.
I think one of the things I was most interested in finding out was how differently we approached our work. And my reality was that we didn't approach it very differently at all, which was funny.
Normally doing an album you go from track to track and go, 'Let's not work on this one today, let's go work on the other one,' and I think you tend to get more self-indulgent that way.
Normally when people ask me what I do I say I'm an actor, and that's what I always wanted to be and that's the way I approach work even when I'm directing it.
The managers I've known all had their own specific way of working.
The way I sometimes approach my work, when I look at a script for the first time, is to identify what the archetypes are and what the writing is trying to do in that context.
It's not about how much work you're doing. It's about what work you're doing and how you're doing the work.
I'd like to be remembered for the way I went about doing my job.
I don't take the roles home with me. I don't work that way. I don't understand that; I mean, I really don't when I hear that.
Whenever I work on something, I try and throw everything I have at it. Then if the director finds it useful they use it, and if not, they ignore it!
I'm very director oriented.
I think my tendency when working is to try and find what's lacking in my current project and then tackle that in whatever I do next.
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.
I see differences in how I like to work with young players and how I like to give young players a chance maybe more than English managers.
I work differently than most people.
There's no right way or wrong way to work. There's only your way.
What we do for a living does not matter as much as how we do it.
Whatever my job description consists of, becomes my job. Maybe it's just the way I tackle work, in general.
I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.
Everyone has their own approach to how they work.
My father is just getting better and better, and that speaks so well of the way he approaches the work.
I use a method approach to all my sitcom work.
Smartness, a good appearance, courtesy, delicacy are not yet norms, are not yet an integral part of the approach of workers in the state apparatus, of their approach either to work or to dealing with the public.
