There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about, but you can't know it all, and that's where imagination can work.
But in a 24-hour day, the 25th hour is also the impossible hour, an hour that doesn't exist, that can only be created by the imagination.
There's no great mystery to acting. It's a very simple thing to do but you have to work hard at it. It's about asking questions and using your imagination.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart it being much more sensitive.
