When it's not on me, I'm not quite alive.I don't like to intellectualize about my acting.I don't sit around and study the pages of a script over and over again.I don't worry whether the period is contemporary or three hundred years ago. Human beings are all alike.The main thing in acting is honesty, to feel the humanity and get to the essence of the character. You can't put anything into a character that you haven't got within you.

Subtle is an understatement. Avoids every remotely melodramatic trapping of the material, possibly some necessarily dramatic as well, and maybe some basic narrative concerns on top of that: a whole torso of torture scars and no talk of any hardship exemption, nor between les papier mates about pre-existing partners, one of whom all but vanishes without fanfare. But Bujold's minutely-controlled, quietly magnificent performance may well convince you that all that's left unsaid didn't need saying.
