There's so many filmmakers who are incredible that I want to get something from.
Well, what I learned from working with these exalted, esteemed directors is that something I should have known all along, but it's the truth, is they're just people.
Martin Scorsese pushes furniture around himself on the floor to block scenes.
He wants to solicit ideas from actors, and he makes decisions on the spot in the moment to deviate from a plan.
And here I had these pretentious ideas that
He was masterful in that he would have everything prescribed as he wanted it and deemed it to be.
Yes, he certainly knew what he was doing, but he is a collaborator.
He's really an ensemble player.
He doesn't perceive himself as being so exalted as I was imagining that he would do.
And to see Scorsese work that way and Aronofsky work that way also –
Being surrounded by people who are so committed to what they do and committed to the vision of the one bringing it to them is truly inspiring to me.
When I spoke to him, he said, he needs to be large.
He needs to be powerful and assertive because that character actually was a composite of many different lawyers representing that of trials.

But it's, you know, it's the fourth act of a Scorsese movie.
It's when the hammer drops and now everybody, the reckoning is here.
what happens?
Well, they're in court and everyone has to atone for their sins as it were.
And he, uh, absolutely directed me to be large.
And I was carrying some extra pounds on my own body at that time from having done finished doing, um, uh, the whale, the whale, right.
