G R I M E S: something i want to say:

actuallygrimes:

So I made that post about my favourite songs of 2012 (including taylor swift and gangnam style etc.) and people just hated on it.

I just don’t understand.

I mean, I do understand. I have my own issues with ‘the industry,’ I have issues with how it’s hard to compete with a bunch of people with…

WILLEM DAFOE

INTERVIEW BY WES ANDERSON

GROOMING BY AMY KOMOROWSKI AT CELESTINE AGENCY

PHOTOGRAPHED AT SUN STUDIOS, NEW YORK CITY

WES ANDERSON—There’s a very dance-like aspect to this work [plays] that is often the opposite of movies, which are generally about naturalism. You’ve always had this other part of your acting life – a whole range of experiences – that allows you to use all your muscles.

WILLEM DAFOE—I think I trust my body more than anything else. When I’m in movement I’m happiest, so I think even in movies I’m attracted to things that require me to be pretty physical and sometimes adopt a performance style that isn’t naturalistic or isn’t filled with manner and normal psychology. Those are often the movies I appreciate more and I think you have a greater possibility of tapping into what’s great about movies that way. Movie language is not about close-ups or naturalistic acting; it’s about a series of pictures and sounds and rhythms that you can really play with on a big old screen, whereas in TV they’re much more dependent on writing and psychological timing.

WA—I can definitely see that. When we did The Life Aquatic together, I feel like the overview of the whole thing is not realistic at all, it’s a complete fantasy, but I still think with movies moment to moment you’re looking to make it feel like it’s really happening.

WD—Yes, you’re not just doing abstract moving, so the way you connect with anything is you give a psychological motivation to it. I guess what I’m talking about is the language of everyday gesture and manner and charm, and it’s nice to get away from that in movies because I think there’s a better world to be had.

WA—Definitely. The exciting thing in movies is figuring out if there’s another way to do this that we’ve never thought of or that we’ve never seen.

WD—For me the best thing about movies is the shift of seeing. It’s not so much to reassure you what you already know but to remind you of what you’ve forgotten or kick-start your imagination in a way you didn’t think of before, whether it’s a fantasy or a gritty realistic style of movie.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 11:32:55 -0400

Get up and don’t give up. If your dream is to be an actor, do something about it and ACT. Pick up your iPhone, gather your friends, perform a play or just record yourself. It is up to you to ACT. TO be discovered only comes after you act.
