And in a short little microcosm too, within one project, you've got a whole blueprint for how you're going to solve life because you've just done it on a creative level.

And so like, there's so many ways to fuck things up to learn from, but any of the disciplines, if you add those to it, like I teach my actors to paint. In between takes, we'll go and I'll take a picture of them in character. I show them a canvas. I show them paint. You don't need to know how to paint. This is to show you the brush is going to know where to go. You just got to pick it up.

Pick the colors you want. Doesn't matter how crazy they are, whatever's speaking to you. You lay it down. I'll show you some of the pictures. You're not going to believe the masterworks these actors did like in a day. They just start doing it. Lady Gaga had her fingernails in there. You know, Josh Brolin's doing his thing. Then I take a picture of them in character, do a line drawing of it.

We project it on top. And mostly it's the painting coming through. They're line drawing with a little bit of their eyes painted in. You're not gonna believe these things. They couldn't believe it. But it teaches them that that thing about that, the creativity is going to come through.

So even though they're already acting, they're already being creative or already making a movie, like you said, that's already a really great creative endeavor. When we would sneak off and paint, you could tell it's firing a whole other part of their brain. It was funny. I think Josh Brolin's girlfriend said,

You leave the set and you come back and you're all like, no, we're painting, we're painting. But that makes sense that you say that because when you get your creativity firing, it's more powerful than any drug. And we would come back and he'd be on the set going. Is it bad that I'm still thinking about the painting? No, I think it's good. I think it's all good.

But you can tell it's opening a whole other part of their creative brain. So you can be doing acting in a movie And the painting's still going to tap. It shows how much untapped potential your creative brain has. So the more you can do, the more you're firing off. And it was so cool. Like I remember we did one with Joseph Gordon-Levitt was painting. We came in and the table was like this.
