acting [Theme] Page 5

Always wanted to play a large black man. But this would take a lot of makeup.

I am 43 years old. Nearly 35 of them I play in the movie. But I still can't sleep on the eve of the start of filming. Costumers have to glue the pads to my armpits because I sweat so much that slip out of clothes. The first three weeks I only sweat. Solid nerves. Love it.

I would like all these actors talking about how hard they are working to role. But honestly, I just read the script, say a few words with the Director, go out on the court and doing their job. And so each time.

On the set of "Erin Brockovich" I was paid a lot of money for unshaven armpits. According to the contract, every hair was worth a predetermined amount. I just forgot that it was the amount of money.

Acting - questionable virtue. After all, as said Joseph Campbell, chief privilege of a lifetime is to be yourself.

Sometimes it seems to me that they want me for the role only because all the other actors are busy somewhere else.

- You whom is easier to play: Samokhvalova from "Office romance", Masleeva from "About the poor hussar say a word" or Buzykin in "Autumn marathon"? Where are you? You closer to where?
- Everywhere!
- You everywhere? So Voland from "Master and Margarita"?
- Yes!

I think that all capable actors or otherwise distracting from the overall system, although of course there are incompetent and that too be at the Zenith of fame. But it costs. There are cases of momentary contact with the secondary wave of audience taste - most often it is due to the averaged talents, average beauty, naizadeve, whether that nerves and aesthetic ideas are lazy and undemanding audience. This kind of random "stars" Shine for a relatively short time.

- Have you ever looked internal similarities between your characters and yourselves?
- I really do not like. Do I look like a Desk Blotter or Vova from "Rodney"? Who the hell knows. A direct hit on my account was not. I've always tried to play the image. This is the most interesting!

We are all passers-by, and the fates our intertwined, and everyone can look at another person and say, "Lord, this is my life!". If it doesn't see herself in me, does not believe that I am on stage his life - don't play in the theater.

Theatre is my thing, I'm not able to do. I'm on stage live. Serve. The people cheer. There my whole life.

To be and actress and the wife of such a husband so hard?
- All in all - Breakfast-lunch-dinner, washing and cleaning. I felt great in the kitchen. She loved to cook, to receive guests, and they have been often. One thing I know: the wife deserves her husband what she has, and her husband - a wife. And whatever you're doing, that would consist of represented, give you need it: somewhere silent, somewhere to help, where not climb in a bottle. Life is short and it is a pity to spend it on quarrels and disagreements.

In my youth I could not understand what the word "star" is not applicable to our actress. Maybe only Tatiana Samoilova after the film "the cranes are Flying" could be a star if I had the money and the support of the state. The star of "doing." And to us it is irrelevant.

I specifically refer to the acting profession. It requires boundless vanity, a fanatical desire of superiority. And I have never had such ambitions. I'm not one of those who are fighting for the role, hit forehead any wall, puts the Directors and colleagues in tough conditions.
