He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whist

Summary

This quote suggests that someone is attempting to play a trumpet in a way that does not accurately represent its intended sound. Instead of producing the strong and bold notes characteristic of a trumpet, the person is purposefully aiming for a softer and less impressive sound, similar to that of a tin whistle. This could indicate a deliberate choice to defy expectations or to explore alternative musical expressions, showcasing the individual's determination to create a unique and unconventional experience.

But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.
