I used to sit in the bathtub the night before, go over my lines. I liked the one in the hallway where I say, “This is some rescue! When you came in here, did you have any plan for getting us out?” When I went in the next day, the entire hallway was blowing up. So, there was no other way to do it but, “THIS IS SOME RESCUE!” Y'know. So, after that, I would memorize my lines and wait to see if we were being blown up or not – which we were, a lot. George really wouldn’t say anything. At the beginning, he’d say “faster” or “more intense” and I, um, didn’t know what that meant. I thought it meant I was just not very good, or whatever.
And then I found out that was okay. I don’t remember how I found out, I think maybe Harrison told me. That, when [George] didn’t talk, when he didn’t say anything, he was getting what he wanted.
