“I was happy in theater, but I was open to making a living that was a bit more substantial. There was a part of me that had a lot to learn in front of a camera, because it is different. Somebody explained to me that the reason they call it a “take” when you’re shooting camera work is that the camera’s job is to come in and take the present moment from the actor into the camera. The actor’s job is to be present. In the theater, the actor’s job is to project the present to the back row for the lady who’s blind and deaf—it’s a different exercise. Learning how to trust the present moment was the job for me. You don’t do anything with your talent or what it is to be an actor, but you do have to begin to trust being present with your expression, as opposed to projecting it into a bigger space.”
