Inside The Actors Studio - (continued)

JL: Do you normally act, as actors on this stage often like to say, from the inside out, or do you work from the outside, from pictures, images, in?



Johnny: I think that actually the images are inside for me, I mean, they're just things that roam around in my brain and affect my emotions so, I'd say both, you know.



JL: Either way.

Johnny: The foundation that you're building for this character for me, you know, is from the inside out, but then nothing helps you more than to be put into the skin or wardrobe of the character.



JL: Are you fond in films of wearing long hair? It is something that makes you comfortable to have your hair long, or does it matter?



Johnny: No, I'd always thought that, ah, probably very stupidly, I thought that, you know, if your hair is down, you're hiding. So you're invisible, you know...people can't see you. That was part of it. Now, I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who won't let me cut my hair.

JL: Has Lily-Rose had an impact on you?



Johnny: It was like having this great veil lifted from your eyes where everything was...your entire life had never been quite in focus, you know, and then suddenly it was like this sharp imagery. And a, you know, one of those moments where you just go "Oh, oh that's what it is, that's what life is. I see now. I get it now."
