Living my life as both and actor AND a writer, means that I think about WANTS a whole lot. My characters always want something, desperately, fully committed, eagerly... If I know what it is they want - my work, whether it's acting or writing - becomes so much smoother and richer. But what actually is it... to want?
WANT (verb) *To have a desire to possess or do. *To wish for. *To need, crave, or demand. *To hunt or seek in order to apprehend. No real surprises in the dictionary about this word... but then again, if I think of my characters as hunters, who seek their prey in order to survive... the want becomes the most essential thing to uncover. Instead of asking 'what do I want?' I can try 'What am I hunting?' or 'what am I craving?' Or 'if I had one wish from a ginny - what would I wish for?'
