00:00So, as far as getting into, like, doing the emotional scenes and doing the character stuff,

00:07there's, as a lot of people know, in this industry, there's two different methods generally

00:11accepted. There's the Meisner and the Stanislavski method. Meisner's more

00:14getting you there emotionally based on something that's happened to you personally in your life

00:19that you can pull from that toolbox and go there. And then the Stanislavski's more just

00:24being so in the character that you are having that experience as the character's experiencing

00:29it and it's coming from, you know, the real-time emotion. I would say I'm more Meisner. I'm not

00:34that, you know, I'm not as Daniel Day-Lewis with it. So, I'm just more draw from personal

00:40experiences and I have a lot of life experience. That's why I always say life experience is the

00:45best acting class you can go to for me personally because I can draw from all these different

00:49experiences and apply them to scenes that I have on the show, regardless of what they are.

00:54And the more life experience you have, the more you can draw from those scenes. So, yeah,

00:59I don't know. I don't really think about it that much.
