This meeting was like many of the meetings that I would go to over the course of two years. The only way I can describe it is that, well, the president is like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people. There is no discernible connection.
I’m not a Method actor. I don’t believe acting should be psychodrama. I look within myself and see what I can find to play the role with.
