Episode notes
A Wes Anderson Set Requires Quiet Patience
- Working with Wes Anderson requires patience: long travel, fittings, waits, and learning his language.
- Winkler stayed quiet on set and respected the director's singular process for 12 days.
Only Do Acting If You Are Burning Inside
- If you are not burning inside to be an artist, go do something else because this career is brutal.
- Beat the anger out after rejection so you enter the next audition an empty vessel for that role.
Turn Words Into Directed Confrontation
- Stop reading lines and instead fill them with intention about who you're talking to and what you want.
- Convert listing achievements into a confrontation aimed at the absent person you address.
