As I was walking by a theatre, an interviewer was outside asking an actor about his approach to acting and it reminded me of a story.
I had a friend who a couple of years ago attended the BAFTA Awards in London. He was backstage and watched a TV personality ask Eddie Redmayne and Robert Pattinson what their approach to acting was. Redmayne went first and rambled on for minutes about his Method-like approach which involved field research, acting exercises, keeping up with recent theory, psychological probing, staying in character and on and on and on. Finally he stopped yapping and the interviewer turned to Pattinson and asked him the same question. Robert responded. "I pretend that I'm another person."
