into a rhythm

Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth interviews Chloe Sevigny:

GORDON: I want to ask you a broad question: When I am playing music, there comes this feeling of just losing your body in space. Almost like you’re upside down and you don’t even know it. Do you get that feeling when you’re acting?

SEVIGNY: I do. You can’t really remember what happened afterwards. The problem comes when you don’t get to have that. You feel like you’ve failed. So I’ve learned that you can’t have these expectations that you’re going to find that state—but I do have it pretty often. You get into a rhythm. I’ve worked with directors who have very little money so we only have two or three takes. In that situation, I know I just need to go for it. Hopefully the performances don’t go over the top. When I have a bigger part, like Nicki on Big Love or Lana inBoys Don’t Cry, a juicier role, it’s easier to get there. When you’re doing little tidbits, you don’t have as much room. But small roles can be comfortable, too. Like my part in Zodiac[2007]. I was terrified of all the actors who were big stars. And I had this tiny role.
