Quote:
"It came about from an idea I had a long time ago. I teach 'Directing Actors' at Concordia University in Montréal—I always had trouble explaining what 'character' is on a screen to my students, and how actors approach a character. And I had long been tempted by the notion of doing something involving an actor and his character to try—not to illustrate or demonstrate—but just get the feeling of what the relationship is between an actor and a character."
