Andrew J. West quotes:

Our impulse as people is to try to control; as an actor, you have to give up that control.

You and the character just become the same person in a way. There isn't really a character; it's just you creating this illusion.

I have had the opportunity to work with Andy Lincoln a lot. He's got a remarkable process. He just has these ways of sinking into the scene and into character that are very physical. He'll make these sounds and these grunts and these moans... I don't know what it is that he's channeling! It lets you know it's okay for you to do that, too.
