Walton Goggins: Turn yourself over to an imaginary set of circumstances
"It’s a child’s game."
Actor Walton Goggins:
I don’t think you play a character or make choices. It’s a child’s game of turning yourself over to an imaginary set of circumstances. I think you read the script 250 times, you do the work, and you show up with the best with what you’ve got.
Acting is a child's game. It's your willingness to suspend one reality and substitute it for another. That reality lives and breathes in your imagination. The actors that I want to be like exercise that way of thinking, and that's kind of what I do.
-Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins on the simple keys to acting:
It’s a child’s game. Turn yourself over to an imaginary set of circumstances. Everything you need to know is in the script. Read it three hundred times.
