Casey Affleck
I have a very bad relationship with mice.
I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.
I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.
I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.
I also learned to separate my experience on the set from how I felt about my performance in the movie. Because most of the time I just hate myself.
For people who have... had curve balls thrown at them, it is easier to digest change and digest change in other people. Change only scares the small-minded. The small-minded and me.
Directors will have a different idea than I have. It will rarely be a perfect match.
Columbia has this contemporary civilization program - western philosophy and political thought. The professor I keep in touch with recommended Anton Mesmer.
Candle Cafe in New York City is far and away the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to. The best restaurant. Period.
But when I start to kiss someone - lust is the easiest emotion to generate.
After I left LA... it was like waking up. And so I moved back east and stopped auditioning.
A friend - I was living with Matt Damon at the time - went in to audition for To Die For. When he met Gus, he recommended me and my brother. Because the story was about Pam Smart and set in New England, and we knew those kinds of kids and high schools and the whole accent and style.
