Quotes Without any conscious intent, I have found that sometimes, when trying to bring a character to life, an instinct in me would force me to withdraw from the world of the set Generally speaking, a movie set is a wonderful place for an actor to be I’m often described as “the crazy actor who camps in the bush”, but becoming an outsider has been a deliberate decision on my part I’ve always wanted to remain something of a stranger on set and to the other actors, since this has enabled me to choose how to interact and joust with the movie set – actors and crew – as an entity that I am part of, but, at the same time, apart from.
