Текст песни Jamie Lee Curtis - Radio Interview (Саундтрек к фильму "The Fog" 2012)

Every hour, on the hour, KAB news and weather

Jamie Lee Curtis is a young actress who co-stars
In The Fog. You come from a show business background
Was acting a natural career choice for you?
You could say it was a natural career choice, I don't look at
It as something that was predestined from the day I was born
That I would end up doing, it was something I chose to do and
Had no pressure from anyone in my family, I just enjoyed it

Do you feel your family helped you in your move to acting?
No, not that they wouldn't have wanted to, I really wanted to do this
Thing on my own. It's too easy for people to start talking, if you
Have your mother call someone or have your father call someone in
It's not half as gratifying if you end up being successful at it
If you've had a lot of help and I'd never had wanted to do that
They were very supportive of me, but they never were supportive in
The sense of getting me interviews and things, I did that on my own

Do you think of acting as a serious full-time career?
It wasn't a career up until Halloween, it was like your day-to-
Day job, you want to get the next job, you want to get the next
Job. I used to believe that just to work was terrific, just any
Job you can get, you learn, you get better, so do it. Now I've
Done four horror films, and I can't do another one right away
I just can't, if I want to continue acting for 30 years, if I
Start doing too many of them, I'm going to be typed and it's
Going to be ridiculous to get out of that realm of films, so I
Now have to make a career move, I now have to make career choices

What do you look for in a role?
Diversity. Between Halloween and The Fog, Elizabeth in The Fog is very
Different than Laurie was in Halloween, and it would have been very
Easy for John and Deborah to write me a role that was similar to
The one I did for them in Halloween, since we were successful in that
Role. It would have been very easy to put me in the same type of
Role, but they let me grow a little
They let me be a little stronger

How would you describe your character in The Fog?
Elizabeth. Elizabeth didn't have a lot of character development in
The first original draft of The Fog, the one I read. Especially
Since she is a hitchhiker, I felt that you had to know a little
Something about her, because everyone else has lived in this town
For a little while, so they have a backlog of information, whereas
Elizabeth, if you're a hitchhiker, you're coming in blind, and nobody
Knows anything about you, and she never said why she was hitchhiking

Are you happy with your performance?
Yes and no. I don't think you can be completely happy at this age
If you are, you're in big trouble. If you're not completely happy
You'll work harder the next one. These two films are not big
Character films. They're not people movies. The fog is the star
Of this film, and should be, and we are just kind of like pawns
These are not actors films where you can do great acting jobs
The more real you are, the better. The more believable is these
People just kind of like living their daily lives, the better it is

What advice might you offer someone
Starting out as an actor or actress?

I don't know one college that offers a course in film acting, and if

You want to be an actress or an actor, and want to come to Los

Angeles and be in films or television, all this theater training in

The world isn't going to help you when you get in front of the

Camera, and it took me when I first began acting months to get used

To that camera, and I was lucky that I was on a series, Operation

Petticoat, where I was there daily, so I almost got the experience

Every day. I got class and being in front of a camera. It's very

Frightening. It's a very big camera, and there are lots of people

Around it, and the camera may be two feet from your face with 15

People around it holding lights and moving around, and you have to

Keep your concentration, and it's ridiculously difficult to learn the

Lingo of film acting. You always learn stage, upstage, downstage

Right? Do we ever learn what hit your mark means? Start hitting your

Mark, cheat, rake to the left, rake for the camera. You have to do

Off-camera looks. You have to do looks at people that are standing

Right next to the camera, but look at the camera and listen to people

Talk, which are 10 feet away. It's ridiculously hard, and it's hard

To hold your concentration, but that's never taught. It's very

Difficult. It bothers me there's a class in stage on acting. You

Have to be very big. Film, you have to be so subtle. It's amazing

You cannot scratch your nose on a film without looking like you've

Just blown your nose. So it's very subtle. It's a very subtle form

Of acting, and they teach you to be very big in college. You know

On stage, you have to hit the 18th row or the fifth row in the

Balcony. You don't have to hit anything. You've got a mic sitting

Taped to your skin sometimes, which is very close to you, and you

Have to be very quiet. This is loud sometimes on film, and people

Aren't used to doing that. So advice would be try to get some

Experience in front of a camera. Ask your professors. Ask your

Teachers about a class in film acting where you can get a camera in

There, and just even if you don't shoot it, at least simulate it

Simulate getting ready for the take. Simulate the guy saying, okay

Roll camera. Speed. Have the sound man say speed. Have them clap a

Marker in front of your face and see if you can't blink, and then
Have the director say action. Cut. Start over. You know, there are a
Lot of things that stage actors don't realize are involved with film
Acting, and I think it's very important that college students
I mean, essentially college students who are going to begin
A profession, and more and more they're going toward film
Because, you know, there's more money and there's more jobs
Pretty much, and so it seems weird that every college teaches
Stage acting when stage acting is phasing out quite a bit
And film and television is here and video and good luck

Thank you very much
What a dissertation
