The Rollercoaster of Emotions: Navigating Excitement and Nervousness When Reading a Scene

So that. That happens sometimes when you read something and you’re excited about it, and then there’s things you’re like, oh, no, come on, y’all. Come on, y’all. I’m like, y’all don’t wanna rewrite it. Haha. Think about it. What. What was there. Was there a scene you read that you were. You were scared of? Oh, man, yeah. I mean, there’s a scene with, uh. I mean, this might be a spoiler as well, but there’s a scene with Marlon. Uh, yeah, yeah. And it was like three pages long. And I was like, okay, let me lock it. Is that. Oh, man, I’m studying my lungs, my music, going on set not really knowing what my lungs. No, but it was. It was great because, um, there was so many. There’s still. There was so many highs and lows to play within that. And so I was super excited, but also, like, the excitement and the nervousness live in the same part of my body, you know what I mean? So I was like, I’m excited for the scene, but. Yeah, that was. That was definitely one of them. And I know you’ve talked about this, like, when you read a scene, I’m so excited for that. But now for the next three weeks. Yeah, you’re sick. You’re sick. Yeah. Cause everyone in the crew knows this is that scene. This is that one. Yeah. Yeah, man, you’re not even shooting that day. Those could be terrible. Yeah. Cause it’s really hard. Like, when you read something and your mouth waters and you’re excited, it’s really hard to live up to that. Right? Haha. It’s the thing about expectations. Expectations, yeah. You always come to a scene like, this is how it’s gonna be. Yeah. And the directors like, we got it. You’re like, are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah. There’s no way we have it. My stomach wouldn’t feel like this if we had it, right? Haha.
