Summary

The quote highlights an actor's approach to portraying a character by exploring their animal instincts. By considering how an animal would think and respond, the actor finds inspiration for their character's actions. Sometimes, these actions may be impulsive and fearless, while at other times, they may be driven by irrational fear. The quote suggests that the actor doesn't always have definitive answers about an animal's mindset, but by embracing this uncertainity, they can tap into a raw and instinctual portrayal of their character.

Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. . . . It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.
