Normally, I rely heavily on my director to massage me out of my actor comfort zones.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
I want to take people out of their comfort zones and teach them to rely on their team-mates.
Whenever you move to a new atmosphere, the first few days are difficult. But I always felt that an actor needs to move out of his comfort zone and experience different working environments. And that's why I was looking at moving out of my own comfort zones and work with different kinds of people. It helps you grow as an actor.
I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.
I don't think people should do anything to be popular. But maybe within reason they can step out of their comfort zones and do things to be more 'accessible'. Like taking drugs or drinking heavily to be cool.
We want to take ourselves out of our comfort zones; when you're in your comfort zone for so long, you only play to a certain level.
When you're in the editing room, as a director, you get the opportunity to look at your work. As a writer, you can rewrite. But as an actor, unless you're watching playback, you really rely on the director to help you.
Comfort zones are deadly zones because you lose your true potential of what you can be, you start going with the status quo.
I can rely on me [being a director], unlike some actors. I never got anything less than what I needed from the lead actor.
To be a great director, what does it mean exactly? It's not only about a great director, but also about being able to rely on the very special chemistry that goes between them. It not only has to be a great director, but the great director has to make his relationship to you, the actor, very special.
I know what my comfort zones are. But without a back-up, I will never step out of my comfort zone. I don't go bungee jumping; I won't jump from the third floor without a safety net. I don't do such things. That's not my personality type.
I love the variety of films. In theater, you go into a room and the director runs the room, so you all work to his or her method. On film, if an actor or an actress is in for a day or two, the director has to get out of that actor what they need, so they have to change and adapt to that actor's technique.
I feel that people need to be jolted out of their comfort zones.
People have to be pushed out of their comfort zones to be able to see things for what they are.
A lot of artists talk about getting out of their comfort zones and being the most proud of their newest album. But it is true for me. I rethought a lot of what I do.
It's my job... to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don't do it gratuitously.
