because of the nature of our job, that we can act well, how can you trust these people, they could be lying, they could be acting right now. But to me to be an effective actor it's less about lying and more about accessing some truth even if it is artificial i know it sounds strange but that's sort of why I talked about Picasso's definition of art. Getting the truth somehow to me, whatever that may be, is a spiritual process. The truth has to go deeper than just my body, it has to go into my imagination and into my, it's almost like a trance you know, when it works, I don't want to think about the dialogue, i don't want to think about what the scene is at the moment of action, I have to feel it and go into a state where I'm almost out of my body and it's just happening it's just flowing, that's probably the only way I can describe it in the short amount of time that we have, but it's a rush, you know, I don't think it's any different than painting or music or any other artform. But when it's working, you go into another dimension, you bring it back and then you share it with people.'
Asia and we have spent months in
there’s a famous, very powerful spirit in African traditional spirituality named Baron Samedi, and that means Baron Saturday, and he’s a spirit of the underworld and also love–and Ghost Rider also has that similar appearance and its honesty. There’s no mask in this character to hide behind; there’s no fake smile–you have just your skull, and when you look at the skull, you go, “Oh my gosh, that’s scary.” But when you think about it, you have a skull, I have a skull, we all have one. It’s a beautiful design. Some people think it contains the universe.'
k that many actors shoot themselves in the foot because and they make it hard for the rest of us because they will go to dailies and go "oh I look terrible and oh reshoot it" and it's coming out of an irresponsible place. And that hurts us because directors don't want to show actors the footage or the dailies.'
D Home, and he was known as the man who could fly and I have the script that I commissioned, and it's a pretty good script, I thought that would be something I would like to direct, but then I had this epiphony, about a year ago, when I was watching one of my favourite B movies, 'Midnight movies' 'The Masque of The Red Death' with Vincent Price and I said 'why isn't Roger Corman directing again.' and I called him up and said 'Roger would you like to direct me in a movie, I want to be in your movie, I want the mist, I want it to be exactly like the way you made those movies, it has to be experimental, we have to go back and get the same cameras, the same blood, same costumes, everything and anything that you did, I want to shoot it your way from the 1960s.'
And he thought about it and he said yeah, I'll do it. So I'm trying to put that together now and hopefully it will happen. I want to be in one of the great Roger Corman movie classics.
e .And I had an amazing time there, it's hard to put into words, but it's almost like I grew up there, in some way, although I was born in California I had an immediate connection with the City of New Orleans because even though I was born in California you could say I was reborn in New Orleans because I had this awakening where I started to open my mind to other possibilities, and that's why I've always had a close connection to the city of New Orleans and why I've wanted to put characters in that city because I have a personal connection for myself.'
t to happen, and it’s whether or not you choose to look at it and what you can learn from it that will put you where you need to be – in the right place.'
