“I work mostly in the theater, one of the joys of the theater is you don’t have to watch yourself. So I thought, “Oh, this is going to be a rough 90 minutes here watching this thing.” And almost from the beginning, I saw how much Sybil had informed my performance much more than I had any idea of consciously. So I could watch the movie. That was also an entirely unexpected thing.”
