Quote by Ellen Barkin
I'm Method trained. How is this character like me? What does she think of her mother? What does her mother think of her? It's like construction, and then, yes, you hope you're talented and that the universe aligns and captures the kind of laborer's work you've done and whatever else sprinkles down on you, and it's all caught on film or onstage.
Summary
This quote reflects the perspective of an individual who has been trained in the Method acting technique. The person wonders how their own character is similar to them and ponders their character's perception of their mother, as well as their mother's view of them. They compare the process of character construction to that of a laborer, hoping that their talent and hard work will be noticed and rewarded on screen or stage. Ultimately, they acknowledge the role of fate or external circumstances in determining the outcome of their performance.
