chewbacca:

“Sometimes,” Driver says, “I think that the best version of the story is the first time we read it. The first time everyone does a table read” — when the actors all sit together with their scripts and say their lines — “it’s alive. It’s a sort of theater. You’re not overthinking. Then you memorize the lines and every impulse is overthought. Whereas before, you’re not caring about moments not working; you just want to make sure you read all the right lines. There’s something amazing about that, and amazing in the art or the films that I like. It’s not so figured out. It’s more abstract. Like Robert Motherwell, or Cassavetes’s movies, or Altman. There’s a messiness to it.”
