A Quote by Christopher Parker
It's not just about filming, you go to awards and interviews too. I enjoy all of it, even learning my lines!

I'm learning about filming, and just conceptualizing as well. I think it's a good artistic inroad, even to music as well.
So you have the challenge of just learning the lines, period, and not only learning them, but learning them to the extent that you assimilate them, so that you're not worried about what the next word is coming out of your mouth when it comes to doing a scene. And you're also in the trenches with the writers, just in the wonderful kind of back and forth of how is it best to say something, even if it involves four or five words. I love that kind of thing.
On the set, everybody is different, so you have to deal with different sensibilities. I don't have a method. Usually, I try to have a good connection with the actor that I'm filming. Even a guy who's there with two lines of dialogue, I always try to have a connection with the guy I'm filming, just to make it into a nice, enjoyable moment.
I don't worry too much about learning lines per se. The memorization is the easy part for me, usually. For me, it's more about working on the context, back story, intention, motivation, etc. Once that's in place, the lines come pretty naturally.
When we were filming 'Twilight,' we didn't expect anything. We were just filming a movie that we wanted the fans to enjoy. And then it kinda just blew into this whole other world.
I'm pretty focused on my career, and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines, it's gonna be learning my lines.
Creating the Minerva Awards. I really have enjoyed that. I have to say that I moaned and groaned about this job but the way I have it now, I enjoy everything about it... I enjoy giving people service opportunities.
When interviews are too cosy, I don't enjoy them.
I'm terrible at learning lines. I'm good at learning lines when I don't have to be word-perfect.
Awards season is not something that I think about. What I enjoy a lot is knowing that people go and see the movie and they love the movie.
If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
I think acting, oftentimes it's not about lines, it's about spaces in between lines and expressions on people's faces and their relationships. You can tell your own story, or a story that you're interested in, even if the lines don't necessarily point you in that direction.
I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn't know what to do. Now I enjoy my family time so much, there is this sense of, if it all went away, and I was just a mom, I would love my life.
I enjoy singing, I enjoy music as much as I enjoy photography, doing filming and stuff like that. I do a lot of things to express who I am.
I learn the lines as soon as I can and then the challenge really, for filming, is to show up and be there and respond to what's around you. That's where the gold dust is. It's really strange, no amount of preparation will help you with the magic of spontaneity on the day [of filming].
I used to believe in em (lines). I don't anymore. They in our heads. Lines between black and white ain't there neither. Some folks just made those up, long time ago. And that go for the white trash and the so-ciety ladies too.
