Jason Bateman

I'm not a precision tool in that way.

I kind of... No, I'm not going to compare myself to what I have done.

It's always about where I'm at at the moment.

And...

the need to see some reflection of what is going on.

Is it registering?

And also to have that conversation with the director going, no, no, I think I know what you wanted and I was trying to do something else.

Can we go again so I can try and give you something nearer what you want?

I've seen now that that doesn't quite fit it.

And...

For the character and the movement and whatever it is.

I mean, it's a really hard thing to generalize about because I guess I've been stretched like gum in all sorts of directions as an actor.

So I can't really be specific.

Certain things, like I think Power of the Dog, I never...

I don't think I ever watched a playback on that because I just, I knew I was in and either it was shit or it was happening.

And I just had to just be that guy anyway.

So kind of going around as Phil Burbank going, can I see the playback?

You know, being an arsehole about it.

I didn't really want to have that interaction with crew.

And I wanted to have the arrogance of the character.
