I think Sean's question was more about, you were talking about choices, I mean, within the performance.

No, I do think that's what you meant.

I think, I don't know, it's so hard.

It's so hard to be specific about this sort of thing.

Fuck, I don't know.

I'm always saying to acting students that I feel you can have something very theatrical in a close-up as much as you can have something very myopically focused and close-up on the stage.

I think the magnification of a performance is really to do... If something is too big, it means often it's wrong.

I don't know.

Some big choices I made where I thought, I'm just doing this and I think it's right.

I just really committed to it.
