Sydney: Saturday, May 8th 2:00 pm – Misha Collins Panel
читать дальше@Scuba_Ree: jared broke his car, jared brakes everything, jareds car is broken, jared deflated Mishas tires at 3am. Jared breaks everything
@Scuba_Ree: jared brakes whatever he can just cause he can.
@bronhager: lol Misha thinks the guy who plays cas would do a good job of playing god
@Scuba_Ree: jared makes faces at him and molest him under the cameras view, jared would have his foot in Mishas crotch
@AmyinSydney: Misha is talking about being pranked and groped by Jared...and J&J never letting him be, amongst other things!
@missbinda Misha was talking about Jensen and he made a BJ motion. Then denied it.
@bronhager: best advise Misha ever got was from jensen to look at him instead of jared wen delivering a line & jared is making faces
@Scuba_Ree: any role in remake he said a live action bambi, would like to play a deer, a 3d bambi.
@Scuba_Ree: he is interested of stunt driving, drove a boat into some rocks cause 50thousand, drove a corvette? And ripped the whole exhaust off
@AmyinSydney: Pretty sure Misha never gives a straight answer. He is so wonderfully odd and apparently a terrible driver!
@Scuba_Ree: weird coloum, high majority of fan mail come from a male prison
@bronhager: Misha had fun beating up dean in point of no return
@SEJoice: Misha does NOT recommend you see his movie Carla
@bronhager: Misha is asked which casts members he gets along with best. Says the extras and the car are great
@SEJoice: Misha has a great time on the set, gets along with everyone
@SEJoice: which is harder enochian or OZ slang? enochian, he finds that many people speak Eng in OZ
@bronhager: where did the nickname cas come from? jared can't pronouce castiel
@AmyinSydney: Misha doesn't think Cas' story arc will be complete until Cas looses his virginity
@bronhager: Misha hasn't seen a season 6 sсript
@bronhager: Misha's ideal spn ending is jared & jensen running off into the sunset holding hands
@AmyinSydney: Misha Collins is so very funny. Great sense of humour. Bagged everyone out! Especially the girl who stole his napkin
@darksilvercat Creepiest creeper award goes to the girl who stole a napkin Misha used at the cocktail party to clean up a spilled drink.
@darksilvercat Said creeper informed Misha in his panel that she planned to frame it along with a couple of empty sweet wrappers from Jim
@darksilvercat I have never seen so many utterly mortified fans. The entire room was facepalming.
@darksilvercat Following the napkin incident, Misha at the cocktail party: I've been thinking we need something a step above minions. How about serfs?
@bronhager: Misha is signing a shirt to auction
@AmyinSydney: Misha is doing a tshirt design for charity and putting his Aussie mobile phone number on it! He only has it for one more day!
@Sarah_Loves_SPN Misha at #AHBL2!!!! Taken on phone so couldn't zoom in lol twitpic.com/1m2ver
@bronhager: Misha is running the show like a housing auctioneer
@missbinda: And Misha wrote his phone on the auction tee, ironcally it sold to a guy here with his girlfriend!
Транскрипт первой части Мишиной панели в Мельбурне (спасибо gypsy_sunday с ЖЖ):
читать дальшеThis is a transcription of the first half (~35 minutes) of the panel. Misha's answers are pretty much word for word, the audience members' questions are less carefully transcribed.
[audience cheers as Misha takes the stage]
M: No, don't stop cheering. From there it all goes downhill. Um, that was a great video. It's like all Cas ever does is kick ass. It's not season four Cas anymore! Wilts like a flower. ... Hello.
[hi, hello, etc.]
M: So what's protocol here? So it's a whisper screening? Is that a-- a screening? [...] So. Here's a little tip. Whisper something nice, and then ask the real question. They probably didn't think that. [...] They did think of it? [...] Then it's on my shoulders. Thanks. I just threw myself to the wolves. They look like nice wolves. [indecipherable] I'm sorry, Barbara, carry on.
Q: My question is about the fight scenes in the 100th episode? Quick compliment actually, my husband teaches martial arts--
M: You don't have to make it quick if you don't want to. Mine drags on for a while.
Q: --and your sword fighting in the woods, with the two angels, my husband says that was absolutely textbook. I had to play it four times in a row for him, he was so excited.
M: That's good editing. If you'd been on the set, you'd have seen that the textbook was falling apart. The binding was completely torn off, and the pages were everywhere. I was, um, I did actually though, I have to say though, the only fight scene that I had really done training for. I trained for like two weeks for that fight scene, with this guy that was like a black belt for six different things. Ooh! He was, he ended up playing the angel that I sort of... fought with.
Q: My actual question was, how much fun was it beating the shit out of Jensen, and how did you both approach that?
M: I think he approached it with trepidation and me with glee. And, by the way, excellent template: a compliment, and then a question. Good on you. I gotta say, Jensen kicked the shit out of himself in that scene. You've hear about stage combat, right? You're not supposed to actually hit each other, you're supposed to, you know, fake it, and obviously you're faking a lot of those punches, believe it or not. I didn't actually hit him... every time. Um, but he was-- he threw himself into the trash cans, and he uh. [laughs] He had to have a professional masseuse come to set, because he was quite sore. But a lot of it was his own doing, some of it was mine. And it was fun, it was fun. It was a tough scene, though. Those fight scenes are actually some of the toughest things to do because... you have to shoot them in little bits and pieces, they only work from you know, certain camera angles. ... Yes, I'm just rambling on.
Q: Hi, welcome to Melbourne. My question is--
M: Your question as filtered through the censors, yes.
Q: --post-Carla you find yourself slightly sociopathic. Post-Cas, what are you holding onto? What are you finding trouble letting go of? What parts of him are now part of you? Like--
M: Just for those of you who aren't up to speed here -- I'm just cutting you off, that was enough of a question... Um. So, Carla for those of you who don't know, gross movie, don't watch it. I play a serial killer/rapist based on a real serial killer/rapist and I discovered that I have like, I could tap into certain violent, sadistic qualities of my nature that I didn't know were there while shooting it and it was kind of shocking to find out. And I guess what I take away from shooting Supernatural and playing Cas is, you know, I didn't know that I could teleport. You just don't know that stuff's in you until you... Time travel, too. And it's been, you know, good and bad.
[moderator asks audience to put cameras away, Misha makes some kind of quip (indecipherable), audience laughs]
Q: Hi, Misha.
M: Hi. Wait, can I ask one quick question? I'll ask the question and then you ask one.
Q: Sure.
M: Who right now is the one that is recording the shaky video that goes online? I can't see it, but I know it's happening... Alright, yes, Castiel1, what were you saying?
Q: To avoid spoilers for some of us, the episode where Castiel is affected by Famine--
M: To avoid spoilers, Castiel has been recast, obviously.
Q: Throughout the episode we see Castiel reverting back to his vessel's hunger for White Castle hamburgers...
M: Yes. Have you not seen that? Who hasn't seen that? ... You made handmade Supernatural sweatshirts, you guys haven't seen it? ... Interesting. Put a lot of that creative energy into actually watching the show.
Q: At the end of the episode, Jensen walks into the diner and sees you just munching on some raw meat. I was wondering what was that and did you actually eat any of it?
M: Um, no, I actually eat through a feeding tube. I had a terrible accident, I don't want to talk about it. I also have a colostomy bag. ... You know, in the spirit of openess. ... Which reminds me -- I'll get to your question -- I was hitchhiking once to Banff, it's in British Columbia2, this was like four or five years ago. I was hitchhiking, it was late at night, and I shouldn't have been hitchhiking. And this guy picked me up, and he was this really weird guy, and we were on a long stretch of road. I guess we were going from Edmonton to Banff, which is the middle of nowhere, in Canada. And this guy started saying, "Hey. Hey you guys. I picked up another couple, who was hitchiking, and they came with me to my cabin. In the woods. It's only a couple hours. What do you we go to my cabin in the woods?" And it's like, literally one o'clock in the morning, there's no cars on the highway and where there's no towns, and he's saying he's going to take us to his cabin. And I'm going, "You know what, actually, we've sort of got plans at this hotel up in Banff... My dad's gonna meet me there." I'm thinking, "How can I scare him? My dad's gonna be there!" We're 200 miles away, he doesn't give a shit about my dad! And then we're talking more and he's just scaring the shit out of me, I'm sure we're going to die. And then... I notice a little tube poking out from under his shirt. And I said, "What's that tube?" And he said, "Oh yeah, you know, I have a colostomy bag." ... And suddenly I went, "Oh, fine." I don't know why, but it totally made me feel like-- So, it's weird, but colostomy bags make me feel super safe. All of a sudden my heart rate went completely back to normal. And he had a great cabin! We had a lovely time. ... Um, what the fuck was your question.
Q: [repeats]
M: Yeah, it was uncooked vegetarian sausage mixed with tomato paste. If anyone ever has a cocktail party, try it. See what your guests think. Yeah, ground vegetarian saugage is pretty tough to handle, even in a cooked state, so this was super disgusting. It was such a rough week, all in all. I ate a lot of stuff that I didn't want to eat, in a large volume. And that particular scene where I was on my hands and knees, just wolfing that stuff down... Particularly because the first five takes of the scene, I was eating it and then found out -- this is the second time, by the way, that something like this has happened to me -- and then found out that they weren't seeing my... my fucking face. So they're like, "Okay, now Mish, now we're gonna have to ask you to really start eating." And I'm like, "I'm already full!"
Q: [goes up to the mod]
M: Wait, hold on, lets do one uncensored question, see how it goes.
[Misha's phone goes off; he borrows an audience member's phone to call back and ends up leaving a message on someone's voicemail3]
Q: Who would you like to act opposite with the most?
M: I'd probably learn the most if I could do a scene with myself. You know how Jensen did that one episode? Where he was playing against himself? I would love to do that... You know, there a lot of different actors who are very very good. And personalities, like Mister Rogers is really... Um, yeah, I'm not going to answer that question. But you wanted to know, favorite sexual position? [...] See, the beauty is, there's no censorship going in this direction. Go ahead. And cover your ears those of you who are under-- how old? [eighteen, sixteen] Some people are like, "Eleven!"
Q: What was it like going into season four as a fairly major character, when all the other actors had working together for so long?
M: What, Jared... and Jensen? All two of them? [...] Season five is sorta similar to season four in terms of how much I actually ended up doing... I only get two more episodes in season five than I did in season four. But joining the show -- just to modify the question a little bit, I'm editing it -- joining the show in general was just, it was cool. It's a great group of people to work with. That's not true of a lot of TV shows, but it is of Supernatural, we just have a lot of fun. We laugh a lot, we cry a little... It's a great place to go to work. And I'm not one to wax sentimental about stuff like that, but everyone in the crew has stuck with the show for five years, and it's a shitty show in a lot of respects to the work. I mean it's hard, working until four o'clock in the morning, Vancouver is always raining, and cold, and people don't quit. Which is kind of amazing. Um, you know, I mean whatever, you have to deal with Jared and Jensen but. It's a small price to pay.
Q: If you could travel back in time and change any historical event to your liking what would you change and why?
M: Probably the 2004 election results for the United States. [...] I don't know, I don't often think about traveling through time and change the course of history. I'll have to reflect... You know what, let me get back to you.
Q: Do you go out and have a good time and get really really drunk with the cast and crew? And do you have any stories?
M: Yes. We have gone out. We went out one night in the fall, last year in Vancouver. Boy, it was a rough night. We went to the fanciest restaurant in Vancouver, which was having a wine tasting/dinner. With a very celebrated wine maker from California... And it was like all the social elite of Vancouver were there, very high-brow. And because we were TV stars, we got to sit with [the winemaker], at her table. And we got to drinking. ... And we were getting a little loud, and the maître d' kept on coming over and going, "There are other tables here." Which I think we were unaware of. And eventually we got smashed. And Janet was starting to talk about her wine, and she said it was a delicate science and sometimes we have to, um. This could be a really long story. Um. Delicate science, sometimes the acidity is too high, or too low, so sometimes you have to make it more acidic. And Jared said, "How do you do that. What kind of batteries do you put in there." And uh, Janet's like, "No, we don't put any batteries." And he said, "No, like car batteries or double A?" It went on... FOREVER. And Janet was just a little too drunk to know that he was fucking with her? And then it started being like, "No, in our wine there are no batteries! Perhaps some other wineries do use car batteries!" And then the maître d' came over and said, "If you go to the bar, and leave this little banquet room, we can get you some drinks there." We're like, "No, man, we're cool." Then he came over and suggested again, and then finally he came over and started pulling my chair back and said, "We would like you to go to the bar now." We did, we drank some more, the next day Jared had to shoot. [...] There's parts of the story I'm not telling you, but it's for the best. But the point is, yes we do, and we have to be careful. ... It was the only time in my life that I've ever thrown up and not even thought about going to the bathroom to do it.
Q: [yet another question about pranks on set]
M: Mostly I would say that, um, Jared just tries to make my life a living hell. By... I can't... I can't... There's nothing, um. I don't know what it is about me, but I can't not crack, like I can't not start laughing when I'm not-- If I'm not supposed to be laughing? That's when I'm laughing. And typically when you're playing Castiel, you're not supposed to be laughing. So every time my close-ups start rolling, Jared will be doing something to try to make me crack. And it gets, it gets pretty absurd. I don't know, I mean have you ever tried to keep a serious face with a broomstick in your ass? [...] You haven't tried it? Try it sometime. And then you'll know what it's like to play Cas on Supernatural. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if we had to shoot an extra ten or twelve hours of footage that's just me laughing.
[The caller from before calls back and Misha has a conversation with them on speakerphone on stage.3]
--- 1: Questioner was a male. 2: Actually, Banff is in Alberta :P 3: From what I can gather, there was a charity auction the day before for a t-shirt that had Misha's phone number written on it (his actual number while he's in Australia). The person who won the auction called him, but his phone had crappy reception so he borrowed an audience member's phone to call them back.
M: Hello Julie J: Hi Misha. M: Thank you for coming in today J: Thank you for inviting me. M: Have a seat J: Ok, thank you.
M: I like how they, uh, set this out, it’s.. you don’t actually want anyone sitting too close to them – Let’s keep the first four rows empty. [cheers] oh, thank you for leaving. [to Julie] So what do you want to talk about? J: *very quiet comment* I don’t know. M: Keep your mic away from your mouth, otherwise they can hear us. Um.. Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? J: No, I feel like I’m sitting next to someone who is always being watched. [audience catcalls] I was talking about him *points to random con-crew guy* M: I don’t know, what do you guys wanna talk about? [crowd shouts] M: Well if you don’t have anything to say... this has been lovely, thank you for... um, does anything want to say anything to us? You, what do you have to say?
Someone: you wanted an in joke M: ok, inside joke? Ok. S: [says random series of words] M: *theatrical laughter* Oh... I don’t get it. J: I don’t get it M: do you get it? J: I don’t get it. M: Thank you S: You asked for it. M: very inside. Only “inside” her head.
Crew: Ladies and Gentlemen can yuo please put your cameras down it’s nearing the end of the flash photography. And can we remind you that there’ll be no video- it allows the guests to speak more openly. If you are caught.. .you’ll be asked to leave... blah.
M: so let’s start the countdown. 99.. 98, Crew: It’s your eyes M: ok, four, two, three, one. Crew: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 thank you very much. You can still take pictures but without the flash please. M: all our good poses are going to happen now. But you can’t take pictures anymore.
M: Hi! S: hi! M: I know that woman? S: What’s your favourite cheese? J: Cashew. M: We only eat vegan cheese. Someone in crowd: *moo* J: What was that?
M: I see a hand up in the very back. It’s a lovely hand. I don’t wanna hear what you have to say... ok, shout it out. Someone: [something] M: oh you’re the one who gave me that triangular brooch. Someone: *now with mic* yeah! *wince at volume* oops. M: who gave her a microphone? Someone: Ok, I wanna know if you, Misha, met Dean and Sam Winchester, M: here we go. Someone: I know, I’m sorry I’m sorry, Would you like them and what is the one thing you’d like to say to each of them?.. if you were paying attention. M: what was the question? S: *repeats self* M: it’s like a house of mirrors. What is the one thing I’d most like to.. but it can only be one thing? The one thing I’d like to say to both of them? S: *tries to clarify* M: This question is very confusing. S: *clarify* M: I would love it if you could diagram this so that I can get my head around it S: If you’d like, I could arrange that later I could [crowd] M: are you inviting me back to your room? Do you have a stall here, or...? S: I have a house, in London. M: A house? Oh she’s /wealthy/. Nice. Not a /flat/. Umm.. No I would not like.. *turns to Julie* Would you? Would you like Sam or Dean? First of all.. you don’t? like Jared or Jensen. J: I’d probably like Sam more than Dean. Because Dean seems like a player. M: yeah, and Sam is more.. toned. So yeah, I would probably ask Dean to... to tone up, I’d phrase that as a question, in order to.. J: would you please tone up? M: “would you please tone up” with the rising intonation at the end.. question mark.. and then Sam.. I don’t know.. obviously, ‘how did you get so tall’ J: why... M: *Batman voice* WHY. *normal voice* I’d ask him why. Oh, more hands. And now they’re just showing off their forearms, reaching higher as if that’s why I’m going to pick them.
J: I’ve got one right there, with the hat. Someone at the back: *ridiculously deep voice* I have a question for Julie... M: That sounds like a heckler. J: That doesn’t sound like the girl with the hat! Someone at the back who is ACTUALLY JASON MOMOA off SG:A: Julie, when you were in the backseat of the impala.. J: hey Jason Jason: what was your favourite part about Jensen? And was it your first sex scene? [crowd catcalls] Julie: No, it was not my first sex scene.. uh... M: I’m not talking here. I’d actually [enraptured?] as well; I want all the details. Julie: *puts on fangirly voice* his /chest/ Jason: I like his chest Julie: arms.. eyebrows... M: Every part J: ..um... where /are/ you?? M: on the floor, under the chairs...is a /troll/.. There’s somebody I want to ask a question from, is that ok.. with you..about asking? Well, if I ask him to ask a question. J: Sure
M: the very, very tall man over here by the door. *gestures to MINI-CAS who was on the shoulders of his mum* Mini-Cas: *shouts out* M: he wanted to know what made me want to play the role of Castiel in Supernatural. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Um.. do you want me to be completely honest with you? I wanted to play the role because I had an inkling, an idea in my head that if I did, that I would some day, one day in the future, get to see *you* dressed up as Castiel. [crowd cheers] and that is why.... Did you know this guy won an award today! How many of you can say that about yourselves? Yeah. There’s a role model right there. So um yeah the hope that I would one day meet you [crowd goes aaaaaaww] I hope that answers your question.
J: she never got to ask her question. The girl with the hat, M: she’s up front, we could do that all night. Girl: is there any truth to the rumours about Zac Efron taking over as Castiel J: /definitely/. Where is this rumour coming from? [girl says something about the internet] Oh.. that kind of rumour. M: that sounds like a reliable rumour. Um. [crowd ask for the question] What was the question? The question is, is there any truth... would you like to ask? You seem to like asking, or trying to ask questions. Is there any truth to the rumour that Zac Efron is going to play Castiel. Yeah, it’s completely possible. Um. I’ll be honest with you, the reason it’s happening is that I’ve become too much of a primadonna, that they just can’t really deal. I’m very picky now.. I have to have fresh flowers in my trailer every morning, and I can tell if they’re /not/ fresh, so I’ve just become too... Julie: he’s always on his cellphone when we’re about to shoot. M: always on my cellphone when we’re about to shoot. Even while shooting. J: I’ll be saying lines and he’ll be on his cell. M: yeah, so. It’s just become very cumbersome and expensive to employ me. So they wanted to find a less expensive alternative .... and Zac Efron, his name came up. That is why that happened, and it is true, 100%.
Someone: What’s the most fun experience you’ve had while at Supernatural? M: she wanted to know if we’ve had any positive experiences. J: all my experiences on Supernatural were positive. M: you can tell the truth. J: no really. Someone: How about you Misha, what’s your favourite experience at Supernatural? M: in..Supernatural? For some reason I can’t understand you British people. Someone: what’s your favourite – experience while /being/ on the set – of Supernatural? M: What’s my favourite thing about being on set? Ah, they have fresh pineapple almost all the time, so that’s probably the number one best thing about it. And... um.. other than that.. um.. J: you have a /chair/. With your name on it. M: oh I have a chair with my name on it. And I get to make out with Julie any time I want. J: I get paid extra for that though. I don’t give that away for free. M: You don’t? they never even told that to me. J: it’s in the very expensive contract. M: It cheapens it a little for me, actually. So, um, pineapple and Julie’s.
Someone: My question is for Misha. When supernatural first started (M:hi.) Hi, again. When Supernatural first started the country was divided between Jensen and Jared. You were either Dean fan or a Sam fan, but now you’re a hit on the show and probably more popular then the two of them together.. [crowd applause] how do you feel? M: Well I mean I think that from the moment I walked on the set I knew that was gonna happen. I mean you meet these guys and they’ve got no charisma...so I was braced for it from the beginning. I am sure that there’d be a lot of people who would uh.. take it to task the assertion that I’m more.. popular than I .. but I’ll take it! I agree, to that assessment. Um... That’s nice, nice, all these people out here that look seem to be interested in what you’re saying, which I’ve never had previously in my life.. so that’s nice. I’ve obviously never, growing up in the home... My mother’s here. Where is she? I’m not going to point her out, because then.. oh, she’s pointing herself out. *batman voice* very discrete mother! We talked about this. [end batman voice] She’s the one that’s filming this up front. Hi. I’m just kidding, childhood was amazing, no problems. Um... I forgot you were here until just now!
Someone: hi, my question is for Misha. It’s a well known fact that you despise most things that are British and consequently wish to destabilise the monarchy.. my question would be, if the queen did actually give you power of England then.. Misha: Not if, /when/. [crowd cheers] You gotta think positive. Someone: what would you change and what would you keep the same? M: well, keep the same, probably not a lot of stuff. Um.. But I would.. this is like wow, [to Julie] what do you think? Where do you start? J: They have healthcare. M: They have healthcare here? Get rid of that! Um yeah we’d probably want to set up a more US style of medical system where only the most elite get care. [crowd noises] what? Did someone boo or hiss? /Escort/ them out! And.. also the.. uh.. the double-decker bus tours? I would probably spice up the commentary a little bit. I fell asleep yesterday.. on the boat. That was a snoozer, so I’d change that. Aaand um. The money, is too big. It’s too tall, it doesn’t fit your wallet properly. So there’s a lot. to round up [free model?]. But honestly I love you /all/. Oh, I found out today what Bangers and Mash is! Pretty much everyone in line came up and said they did not like bangers and mash. [crowd disagree] The gravy is what makes it, I agree. So, what else? Ok, that’s it! Thank you. You..’ve had your hand up for some time and you look quite tired.
Someone: I’d just like to ask how each of you see the Castiel/Anna relationship and what happened before between them? M: oh /yeah/. *turns to Julie* Have you, do you sit in your room and sort of figure out... J: I do. It’s all I do in my trailer. I write like little essays... M: ‘what we used to do’.. ‘on the cloud’. J: Cloud nine.. M: ‘cloud nine’ as it were..I do, I’d like to think that there’s a certain charged... atmosphere between us, back in the day. There’s also been some question as to whether angels have genitals on the show Someone else: do you want me to check? M: great idea. Thank you for volunteering. J: she’s brave. M: She is. Um.. that’d be quite a shocker, huh? There /is/ nothing, /my god/, now we see why you were cast. J: any more questions?
Young guy: I have a question for Misha. If in real life.. M: you have a very deep voice. You should go and do voiceover. S: Would you rather be a demon than an angel? M: would I rather be a demon than an angel? Um.. on the show or in real life? In real life, uh probably um.. I don’t know - they both have their good qualities. I think that it’s kinda nice, it was good to be an angel on Supernatural because we got to stand out a little bit, y’annow, demons were dime a dozen. Now there’s been so many angels on the show it’s kinda watered down too. The only way to stand out on Supernatural these days is to be a human. There don’t seem to be that many of them anymore! So but yeah it’d be fun to be.. i think angel’s better. J: I agree. M: because we keep on discovering new powers we never knew we had. There’s always something new.. yes, I can read minds. I did not previously know that. I’m reading your mind right now. /weird/. For a child. But thank you, good question.
Someone: hi, this one’s for Julie. We’re finding out the angels are a lot like a really dysfunctional family. We know how Castiel feels about most of the other angels, but we never see much about what Anna feels. Do you reckon Anna misses them like brothers or sisters or do you think that she’s happy she left them? M: did you understand a word of that? J: I think [something] M: Can I get a translator up here? I’m just kidding. Someone: I’m sorry, I’m from Up North. J: no no no I get it. I think she probably misses the camaraderie of not being rogue. And she keeps trying to make friends with this one *gestures to Misha* and it never works out. Our timing’s just really off. I saved your life, though. At least once last weekend. You would have died. No longer existed. And you throw me to jail, so to speak. Um. Yeah I think she does miss the camaraderie but she always tries to do what is the right, the absolute right thing to do and sometimes that means stepping away from the group, so. M: so. I can’t believe... the funny thing is once you started talking I couldn’t ... i’m starting to isolate what the problem is.. *points to self*.
Someone: Hi, just like to say to Julie I love your character... but this is a question for misha, not actually Supernatural related. M: oh we’re not doing any of those. Someone: it’s to do when you were an intern in the White House. When you were finished at the White House, what made you not... I mean, why did you finish it? M: that implies that it was my decision. They actually locked me out of there. Um. Um, oh boy. I thought I was going to go up in politics, and I was going to change the world and what have you. I haven’t given up on that, I mean, I wanna do [something stuff] um, but now by violent overthrow rather than democracy. Um. But I um. The internship I started with five days a week and after a week I went up to the person who was my boss and said it turns out I can’t even make it to five days and we’re going to have to cut it down to three. I had nothing else going on but I hated it there. And then, uh, about a month later I went into the office and said ‘three days a week is not working out for me, we’re going to have to cut back on the hours’. And so my internship finished with me coming in once a week which was very unprecedented for the boss as they usually had people full time there, and I asked them for a letter of recommendation which they suggested that I write myself because frankly I don’t think that they didn’t even know my name anymore because I was there so infrequently. But I um, I just wasn’t impressed by how the process worked; I thought it was going to be all these people in this building figuring out how to the world and discussing these fascinating ideas and instead it was like a bunch of paparazzi who would try and jump out of closets, timing passing Clinton in the hall and ‘hey Bill, what’s happening?’ and um that wasn’t the right spot/time for me, so I... and then I had a crisis, I thought ‘what am I going to do with myself?’ because I had this idea of going into politics for a long time and uh I’m still working on that, obviously. Someone: you did a great job with your acting. M: I did a great job with my accent? S: clarifies M: my acting? Yes. I don’t know, what’s she’s talking about. Thank you, lovely talking to you, I will be here [something]. Hi, you’re doing a kinda weird thing with your fingers but that’s cool.
Someone: I just want to say thank you for coming here and I have a question for both of you, are there any Supernatural characters that have really interested you that you wish you could have had the chance to play other than the ones you did? Julie: I think that, if could have I been any other Supernatural character it’d be Young Mary. I like her. M: that is so weird, same for me. We never even talked about that too, it’s uncanny. Wow, we’re really on the same page, that’s awesome. Yeah, Young!Mary is the big one to play. Yes.
S: Um, on IMDB... M: I’m gonna translate this *puts on falsetto* On IMDB, there’s something called ‘Stonehenge Apocalypse’ [end falsetto] which is credited to me, um. J: you didn’t do the accent. M: I didn’t do the accent, my bad. There’s a movie that I was in, we shot this last summer that was called /Stonehenge/ Apocalypse, which, who knows, maybe it’s not a great movie but will go down in history as having one of the worst titles of all time. S: I like it! M: you do? So, that’s one person. The audience of one. Ratings are going to be through the roof with you tuning in. And yeah, it’s gonna be pretty/great... I mean obviously you can tell from the title that it’s going to be a phenomenal film. Transformers? Yeah, there’s some sort of transforming.. terraforming.. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the term but I play a scientist – it’s one of those awesome movies where it’s like ‘he’s a scientist’ when actually they use that term to describe a number of the characters but we don’t ever get any of the boring details about what kind of science. /Scientist/. So I’m a scientist. Which is great, absolutely great.
S: Julie and Misha, I was wondering if you could tell us anything about the upcoming episode where Anna returns, if there are any fight scenes involving your characters? J: I’m not going to say anything that’ll unlock the story. M: let’s tell them everything. J: at page one.. M: what is page one? I just don’t wanna [[ (completely unclear audio, sorry) have to speak about earlier and forgot.. ]] J: we shot a scene together like two weeks ago. M: I know. That’s what `something` J: Um, Fight scenes? /yes/. M: Do Anna and I kick some serious ass? // ((this overlaps with something J says which I can’t get)) J: /yes/. Do I have hand to hand combat? Yes. M: she kicks some serious ass in the end though. And I have to say I get two painting spells. Not too shabby. J: I think I get two actually! M: you get two painting spells as well? J: yep, some blood trickles out of my nose... M: do you have the the one nostril thing.. J: they actually stuck this, basically, I don’t know if they did this to you, and my nose is really small, so `something`. So they put this, uh, like stuff like foam up my nose up one nostril and in the other side they left this thinner foam that they squeezed blood into so that when I breathed out of my nose eventually the blood would dribble out. But of course they’d be like ‘now, action’ and I’d be like *breathes heavily* for like eight seconds of breathing out of my nose and eventually it would trickle out. But it was a very weird feeling, and I swear you’ll notice it because I think my nose was like two bulges, I looked like a bull or something. M: and there’s the eight seconds of you going *heavy breathing*. Maybe they’re going to edit around it
American Someone: So um, it’s Saturday so happy belated Thanksgiving if you celebrate it. M: very late, yes. And we do celebrate it. It’s not a very big holiday over here, is it, no. S: I miss turkey! So what is your favourite Thanksgiving food – and you can’t say recently slaughtered pony. M: *gestures to J* she didn’t know about that! And now she’s not going to come to my trailer anymore. Favourite thanksgiving food? Is that our question? Good question/ J: I would probably say, sweet potatoes. M: *batman/porn voice* yeah J: I’m loving the sweet potatoes M: *voice* yeah. *end voice* Young Mary is mine. Um.. do you have a Thanksgiving... .like a.. you don’t celebrate America’s formation..I guess it’s a sombre time for the British: you lost a whole... fucking continent! Um.. I’m sorry, by the way, `unintelligible` So um, yeah, I mean, you don’t have a harvest festival or anything like that? Someone: Summer Solstice! M: What?!? S: Summer Solstice. M: summer Solstice, that’s nice. Some kind of a Wiccan... thing where everyone gathers around the.. Stonehenge? Yeah. That’s too bad, it’s actually one of the great, one of the many great things about being American, because every year we get Cranberry sauce... and yams, which is great. You do that at Christmas? That’s all screwed up. Uuugh that’d throw me off. I’m glad that that’s not ours.
S: hi, Misha, My question is for you. I’ve heard from some sources that you read Dean/Castiel, [[Crowd groans/laughs]] M: once, per convention, the obligatory slash fic question. Um... *turns to Julie* you know about this? J: No, do explain.. M: Apparently, hold on, I’ve gotta explain this... So apparently there’s this thing, this phenomenon where I guess /all/ of these people write /fan fiction/ which is... J: I started to read one of those, M: Slash fic? J: but I didn’t see the slash. There was one, yep, M: do you write this stuff yourself? J: actually, I do. I submit 20 a day. All over the net. M: Ok, I’ll look for your handle. What’s your name or whatever.. J: I wouldn’t want to give it away. M: what was the one that you read? J: I stopped reading it when it got to the point..where....... It was Anna, Cas and Dean at the dinner table.. and.. it said something about a hand reaching over... M: who’s hand? J: I don’t know and I don’t care, I stopped. M: it’s funny, some people’s reliable sources are very unreliable. Somehow along the line I developed a reputation for being an avid slash fan, so everyone thinks that I, that I’m the biggest, number one fan out there. I started also reading /one/ slash fic story, and I stopped at a similar thing when it was, I think it was Cas’s choking on someone’s cock, or whatever, anyway, and uh... Julie: `something` M: and it’s a big thing and every time someone mentions it at a convention, as someone always does, half the audience goes ‘uuuuuuuugh, don’t do it!’ because it’s like this dirty thing that people don’t like, it’s like dirty laundry getting aired or whatever. Someone: oh, so my question is... M: oh that wasn’t your question?! Oh you may have /lost/ your question privileges! S: I was wondering if you actually have a prompt for a fic M: a what? I don’t know what that is S: like a plot/storyline because if you do I get £10. M: oh, so do I have an idea for a story you could write? S: oh well not me... M: because you’re obviously not interested in that sort of thing.. and you have never read it yourself.. S: oh of /course/ not! M: but you are looking for ideas. M: yes, very discrete. Way to not call yourself out. J: it was ‘for a friend’. M: right, right. Yes, ‘friend’. Your ‘friend’ wanted you to ask... that’s cool. So.. yeah, yes I do. Would it be a slash fic..pairing? is what you people call it, right? J: shipping, right? M: is what? J: I learnt that word. M: what is shipping? Someone: it’s like when you like a particular group, and you ship that group.. M: oh, like UPS. Or FedEx. J: together, at the same time. M: I’m not an idiot. Ok, so anyway, Bobby....slash Impala. And I want /tailpipe action/.... now I actually do have... an image... aaaargh. Hold on, hold on I’m working through it, ok, go. MostlyInaudibleSomeone: hey... M: We’re supposed to `something`. Just shout it out, these people have no idea what you’re saying. MostlyInaudibleSomeone: Are you aware of the Roleplay that’s on Twitter? There’s Castiel, Dean, Sam... M: and they do what? MIS: They don’t... they don’t do sex M: they don’t do sex. So there’s Roleplaying on Twitter itself? That shocks me! Because Twitter was always seemed like such a wholesome... um.. that is shameful. That is just disgusting. I’m sorry. MIS: `something about following their names` M: So I should look for these? I have no idea how I would even begin to find them, honestly on Twitter, the only thing I know how to do is to type something in and click send. I don’t know how to find people, to follow people.. I don’t wanna know, I’m not going to look. I’m not going to look. I don’t wanna know about that! That ruins Twitter for me. For me Twitter is just a platform for world domination, and I don’t want to `something` around other peoples’ storylines or I’ll get discouraged. No I’m just kidding, I get around a lot, I `something`.
Someone: I have a random question for you both, what’s the most unusual thing that you’ve put in your mouth? M: I think we can both say, Young Mary. Um...What do you do with that one? Where do you go? Um.. I have a small answer, if that’s alright with you. J: ok. Pineapple? M: No, Pineapple is oddly pushing the envelope but not quite there. As a child for some reason, I liked to get attention from other children by putting weird things in my mouth. I found a [gardner] snake, in the grass, and I put that in my mouth..... mom... you know this does bring this back to you, at some point in my childhood I remember distinctly you saying, it’s good to have this platform where we can talk, um, that it is good for you to eat a little dirt to build up your immune system. Right? You agree. So, I remember sitting on the front steps of our house in [Beaurigar?] eating dirt, force feeding myself to eat dirt, in fairly large quantities, thinking, ‘oh this is terrible, but it’ll make me stronger’. So other people would be grossed out by the prospect of having a snake in your mouth, I’m thinking ‘it’s for my health’. And, uh, so yes. So the snake was one, and there was one at `name of place`: we went on a walk with the natural.. in the woods, we found a bat in a tree.. a very sick bat.. a very small little bat, J: you didn’t put that in your mouth? M: which I thought I’d impress the other children by licking... it was very feeble, it wasn’t flying away.. it probably had rabies.. um.. but the funny thing was, the other kids didn’t seem to be that impressed.. anyway, so, I guess ‘a sick bat’. J: sorry, I never put any strange things in my mouth. M: probably.. you probably had friends as a child. J: I did. I didn’t eat dirt either. M: correct moral issue J: but my mother didn’t tell me to... so... I’m sure I would have. M: she’s rolling her eyes now, ‘you were a foolish child...I told you it wouldn’t hurt you if there was a little dirt, didn’t tell you to /eat/ the dirt’
J: yes, in the back? With the grey sweatshirt? [[transcript note: this is referring to me, but I didn’t have a mic, so I was confused and then someone asked a question over me *sadface* That said, SNM’s question was a good question, so.]] M: *referring to someone behind me* alright, she has a microphone. someoneNotMe: Sorry! M: *referring to me* She looks very sad. I’ve got a microphone and I’m not even going to get a question. What am I going to do to get a question? SNM: My question is, if you could write an episode, what kind of monsters would you put in it and why? J: I would probably put... um.. M: Young Mary? J: I’d probably drag Young Mary back.. um... something along the same lines as like the hellhounds where you don’t see them, which is why they’re scary. [[Meanwhile, Misha is looking through Julie’s bag]] M: sorry. J: but I don’t know what kind of monster that’d be. But I like the idea, um.. similar to paranormal activity that’s at the theatre, I think it’s out right now, where you can’t see the evil. But it’s there and it’s terrorising. That scares me. M: I haven’t seen Paranormal Activity, I don’t watch scary movies J: you should, it’s really good. M: I don’t know, for my monsters probably the members of the Bush administration.. and we’d hunt them all down... J: actually I once saw this musical in New York, and it was all the Bush administration and Dick Cheney played the Devil, and they were all part of the Devil’s gang, and they, you know, found Bush all drunk and high on coke and they took and they put him... M: this is a documentary? J: yes actually, it was a musical documentary, on stage. Thank you M: that was a good question.
Crew: Ok guys, I’m sorry, this is the last question. `crowd go ooooooooh` M: what about if we don’t let her ask it, then it goes on forever. Or we can drag it out and make it a forty-five minute question. We promise not to cut you off. LastQuestion: do either of you have tattoos and if not, what would you get? M: we’re getting a lot of those annoying ‘if you could ever imagine..’... that’s a shitty question. Um. Ask another question. [to Julie] Do you have any tattoos? J: No, I’ve never actually wanted one. M: neither have I. Have another question. LQ: um, so... M: it’s gotta be /way/ better than the last one. This is the /last question/ that’s a lot of responsibility. LQ: Do you think Castiel and Anna are ever going to get it on, and if they haven’t, would you like them to? M: [letch voice] yeeeeeeeeeah. [end letch] I think we can very well know how this’ll turn out: I’ll say ‘yes’ and she’ll say ‘no’. J: we don’t even really know, like you said, if it’s possible for angels... I mean.. I don’t know. M: Ok, Can I, I’m going to come clean and say I have used it as subtext that we have got it on. I’m just throwing that out there. She has not.. used that for herself, which makes this awkward, very awkward right now. J: actually, um, the other day.. M: [letch] yeeeah [end letch voice], here it comes.. J: there’s this one line that he says to me and every time he said it I kept thinking in my head, ‘are you breaking up with me?’ ‘are you breaking up WITH ME?’ M: it kinda felt like that, didn’t it? J: it really did. M: I wanted to kinda imply that..it `something` there was there was talk and it was romantic and there was passionate angels, genitals or no genitals, J: I think angels experience it differently to human sex, they just stare at each other. M: lot of eye fucking. J: they just look intensely, like M: I mean they have no genitals, what are you gonna do? J: And Misha as Cas, he always kinda turns /into/ the look like *does Cas headtilt thing and stares at M* and he’s `something` and his eyebrows are all.. M: `something` J: and maybe Anna just really digs that. M: yeah, J: so..um. M: thank you that was a /waaaaay/ better question. Thank you. `crowd applause`

When Supernatural star Misha Collins was an 8-year-old boy in Massachusetts, he developed what he calls a “theological curiosity” and snuck into a Catholic church where he ate up a Communion wafer, which Catholics believe hosts the body of Christ. “I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to do that if you aren’t a confirmed Catholic,” confesses the actor, now 35. “But I can now reveal the secret that those Communion wafers taste terrible!”
спойлеры 5x10!All these years later, Misha’s finally going to Hell. In the November 19 episode of the CW sci-fi series, his character, Castiel, an angel of the Lord, will come face-to-face with you-know-who. “I’m on a very important recon mission in Missouri when Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) captures and integrates [предположительно, очепятка - interrogates] me by trapping me in a burning ring of fire using holy oil,” says Misha. “It’s our first head-to-head.” Or halo-to-horn…
Мой перевод:
Когда звезда Supernatural Миша Коллинз был 8-летним мальчиком из Массачусетса, он из "теологического любопытства" пробрался в католическую церковь и съел просфору для Причастия, которая по католической вере символизирует тело Христа. "Я не знал, что этого нельзя было делать, не являясь крещенным католиком", - признается актер, которому сейчас 35. - "Но зато я могу раскрыть секрет, что эти просфоры на вкус просто ужасны!"
спойлеры 5x10!Теперь, много лет спустя, Миша, наконец, отправляется в Ад. В эпизоде сериала CW от 19го Ноября его персонаж, Кастиэль, ангел Господень, встретится лицом к лицу с сами-знаете-кем. "Я нахожусь на очень важной разведывательной миссии в штате Миссури когда Люцифер (Марк Пеллегрино) захватывает меня для допроса с помощью огненного кольца, используя священное масло", - говорит Миша. - "Это наша первая встреча нос к носу." Или нимб к рогам...
Остин Клеон — это художник и поэт, автор сборника Newspaper Blackout Poems. В марте 2011 года в своем блоге он сформулировал правила эффективного творчества, которые мгновенно его прославили. T&P перевели этот манифест о жизни, работе, интернете, общении и творчестве.
Каждому художнику приходится отвечать на вопрос, откуда он берет свои идеи. Честный художник ответит: «Я ворую их». Вот и все, что можно об этом сказать. Это понимает каждый художник.
Есть 3 слова, которые вселяют в меня надежду всякий раз, когда я их читаю.
Нет ничего оригинального. Об этом было сказано еще в Библии: «Что было, то и будет; и что делалось, то и будет делаться, и нет ничего нового под солнцем» (Экк 1:9). В любом новом проекте смешаны элементы старых идей или просто изменяется одна из них.
В художественных школах всегда показывают один трюк. Нарисуйте на листе бумаги две параллельные линии:
Сколько линий на рисунке? Видна первая линия, вторая, но есть ещё и темная линия между ними. Видите?
1 + 1 = 3.
Есть еще один хороший пример того, о чем я говорю — в генетике. Вы наследуете гены своих отца и матери, но при этом не являетесь только набором родительских черт. Вы — нечто большее, новая версия и родителей и всех своих многочисленных предков.
Вы не можете выбирать родителей, но можете выбирать учителей, друзей, музыку, книги и фильмы.
Об этом говорит Jay-Z в своей книге «Decoded»:
«Мы росли без отцов, поэтому находили их на улицах, в истории, и в какой-то степени это было подарком для нас. Нам приходилось выбирать себе предков, которые бы наполнили мир, который мы собирались построить для себя... Обычно наши отцы уходили, потому что были отвергнуты, но мы брали их старые записи и использовали их, чтобы создать что-то новое».
На самом деле, ты — это то, что ты впускаешь в свою жизнь. Ты — сумма того, что на тебя влияет. Как говорил Гете, «нас создает и формирует то, что мы любим».
Художник — это коллекционер. Не скупердяй, который собирает все без разбора, а именно коллекционер — который целенаправленно собирает только те вещи, которые действительно любит.
Есть одна экономическая теория — если сложить доход своих пяти ближайших друзей и найти среднее арифметическое, результат окажется очень близким с собственному доходу.
Думаю, то же самое относится и к идейному доходу. Мы настолько же круты, насколько круто наше окружение.
Моя мама любила повторять мне: «Мусор на входе — мусор на выходе». Это сводило меня с ума. Но теперь я понимаю, что она имела в виду. Ваша задача — собирать идеи. Лучший способ для этого — читать. Читать, читать, читать, читать, читать. Газеты, погоду, дорожные знаки, лица незнакомцев. Чем больше вы читаете, тем шире выбор того, что повлияет на вас.
Выберите писателя, который вам действительно нравится. Найдите все его произведения. Узнайте, что он сам читал. И прочитайте все это. Взбирайтесь по своему генеалогическому дереву писателей.
Крадите идеи и сохраняйте их на будущее. Носите всюду записную книжку. Пишите в книгах. Вырывайте страницы из журналов и создавайте из них коллажи в своем скрапбуке. Крадите, как художник.
2. Чтобы начать действовать, не нужно ждать
В прошлом году по интернету ходило видео с Рэйном Уилсоном, который играл Дуайта в телесериале «Офис». Рассуждая о творчестве, он сказал именно то, что позволяет стольким людям откладывать свои проекты: «Если вы не знаете, кто вы и для чего живете или во что верите, практически невозможно заниматься творчеством».
Если бы я ждал, когда пойму «кто я» и «для чего живу» до того, как стал «заниматься творчеством», я до сих пор сидел бы без дела, пытаясь найти себя, вместо того, чтобы просто начать что-то делать. По собственному опыту знаю — именно в процессе работы мы понимаем кто мы.
Вы уже готовы. Начинайте делать. Возможно, вы напуганы. Это естественно. Есть одна особенность, которая свойственна прежде всего образованным людям. Она называется «синдромом самозванца». Согласно медицинскому описанию, это «психологический феномен, при котором человек не способен адекватно принимать собственные успехи». Он чувствует себя обманщиком, который все делает наугад, а на самом деле даже не понимает, чем занимается.
И знаете что? Никто не понимает. Когда я начал вычеркивать слова из газетных колонок, я не имел ни малейшего понятия о том, что делаю. Я знал только, что это здорово. Это казалось не работой, а игрой. Спросите любого хорошего художника, и он скажет правду — он не знает, откуда берутся шедевры. Он просто делает свое дело. Каждый день.
Притворяйтесь, пока не начнет получаться. Мне нравится эта фраза. Ее можно понимать двояко: притворяйся, пока не достигнешь успеха, пока все не увидят тебя таким, каким ты хочешь. Или — притворяйся, пока действительно не научишься что-то делать. Мне очень нравится эта мысль.
Еще мне нравится книга Патти Смит Just Kids. Это история о том, как два друга приехали в Нью-Йорк, чтобы научиться быть художниками. Знаете, как они это делали? Они вели себя как художники. Мой любимый, ключевой, сюжет книги — Патти Смит и ее друг Роберт Мэплетхорп, одевшись как бродяги, отправились в Вашингтон-Сквер, где всегда много народа. Одна старушка уставилась на них и сказала мужу: «Сфотографируй их. Думаю, они художники». «Нет, — он покачал головой, — они просто дети».
Весь мир — это сцена. Для творчества вам тоже нужна сцена, костюм и сценарий. Сцена — это ваше рабочее пространство. Это может быть студия, письменный стол или альбом для набросков. Костюм — это ваша рабочая одежда — специальные штаны, в которых вы рисуете, домашние тапочки, в которых пишете, или та забавная шляпа, что вдохновляет вас. А сценарий — это время. Час здесь, час там. Сценарий в пьесе — это только время, отведенное на разные эпизоды.
Притворяйтесь, пока не начнет получаться.
3. Напишите книгу, которую сами хотели бы прочитать
Расскажу короткую историю. «Парк Юрского периода» вышел в прокат, когда мне было 10 лет. Я бредил этим фильмом — как и всякий 10-летний ребенок. В тот момент, когда я выходил из кинотеатра своего провинциального городка, я уже ждал продолжения.
На следующий день я сел за свой старый компьютер с зеленым монитором и сам написал продолжение. В нем сын лесника, съеденный в первом фильме велоцирапторами, возвращается на остров вместе с внучкой создателя парка. Он хочет разрушить парк окончательно, она — сохранить его. С ними случаются разные приключения, и в результате они, конечно, влюбляются друг в друга.
Тогда я не знал, что написал то, что сейчас называется фан-фикшн — выдуманными историями с уже существующими персонажами. Я сохранил тогда свою историю на компьютере. А через несколько лет вышел «Парк Юрского периода-2». И его сюжет был высосан из пальца. Сиквел фильма никогда не может сравниться с продолжением, которое мы уже создали в своей голове.
Начинающий писатель всегда задается вопросом, о чем ему стоит писать. Обычно ему говорят: «Пиши о том, что хорошо знаешь». В результате часто получаются ужасные истории, в которых не происходит ничего интересного. Поэтому лучший совет — не писать о чем знаешь, а писать о чем хочешь. Напишите такую историю, которая нравится вам самим. Мы занимаемся творчеством, поскольку нам это по душе. Вся художественная литература — это, по сути, фан-фикшн. Лучший способ решить, чем заняться — это подумать о том, чего бы вам хотелось достичь, но ещё не сделано, и потом сделайте это. Создавайте картины, на которые вы сами хотели бы смотреть, музыку, которую хотели бы слушать, пишите книги, которые хотели бы прочитать.
4. Пользуйтесь руками
Мой любимый мультипликатор Линда Барри однажды сказала: «Ваши руки — это самый первый цифровой девайс». Когда я учился писательскому мастерству в колледже, мне приходилось, как и всем, сдавать свои сочинения, набранными через двойной интервал шрифтом Times New Roman. И у меня все выходило ужасно. Стоило мне только начать писать от руки, как работа пошла веселее, и ее качество заметно улучшилось.
Чем дальше я держусь от компьютера, тем лучше становятся мои идеи. Microsoft Word — это мой враг. Я все время пользуюсь им на работе, поэтому в остальное время стараюсь с ним не связываться.
Думаю, что чем больше писательство становится физическим процессом, тем лучше получаются произведения. Можно почувствовать чернила на бумаге. Можно разложить листы по всему столу и перебирать их. Можно положить текст везде, где на его будет удобно смотреть.
Меня часто спрашивают, почему я не создам приложения Newspaper Blackout для iPhone или iPad. Я отвечаю, что, есть некое волшебство в том, чтобы держать в руке печатный лист. В творческий процесс вовлекаются многие из чувств — даже запахи могут подарить совершенно особенный опыт.
Искусство, которое идет только от головы, ничем хорошим быть не может. Посмотрите на любого талантливого музыканта, и вы поймете, о чем я. Когда я составляю стихи, я не чувствую, что это работа. Это как игра. Мой совет: найдите способ вовлечь свое тело в работу. Рисуйте на стенах. Стойте во время работы. Раскладывайте вещи на столе. Пользуйтесь руками.
5. Сторонние проекты и хобби — важная вещь
Главная вещь, которую я понял в то недолгое время, что я был художником: именно сторонние проекты «выстреливают». Под ними я подразумеваю те вещи, которые сначала казались незначительными. Просто игрой. Однако как раз эти вещи действительно стоящие — именно в них заключается волшебство. Мои «зачеркнутые» стихи (The blackout poems) были таким сторонним проектом. Если бы я занимался только написанием коротких рассказов, если бы не давал себе свободно экспериментировать, я бы никогда не стал тем, кто я сейчас.
Не менее важно иметь хобби. Что-то исключительно для себя. Мое хобби — это музыка. Мое творчество адресовано всем, а музыка — только мне и друзьям. Мы собираемся каждое воскресенье и устраиваем шумиху на час-два. И это прекрасно. Итак, совет таков: выделите себе время на безделье. Найдите хобби. Это пойдет на пользу, и вы никогда не знаете, куда приведет вас ваше увлечение.
6. Секрет: делайте что-то хорошее и размещайте там, где люди увидят это
Я получаю много писем от молодых художников, которые спрашивают, как им найти своего зрителя. «Как сделать так, чтобы меня кто-то открыл»? Я очень хорошо их понимаю. После окончания колледжа у меня тоже был в некоторой растерянности. Учебный класс — это прекрасное, хотя и искусственно созданное для творчества место — профессору платят за то, что он занимается твоими идеями, а твои сокурсники платят за то, чтобы интересоваться ими.
Никогда в жизни у вас больше не будет таких внимательных зрителей. Однако вскоре вы узнаете, что миру в целом нет дела до ваших идей. Это звучит жестко, но это так. Как сказал Стивен Прессфилд, «это не значит, что люди необразованы или жестоки, они просто заняты». Если бы существовала какая-то секретная формула завоевывания аудитории, я бы рассказал вам ее. Но я знаю только одну не такую уж оригинальную формулу: «Сделайте хороший проект, и поместите туда, где люди смогут его увидеть».
Этот процесс проходит в 2 этапа:
Шаг 1: «Сделайте хороший проект» — невероятно сложен. И здесь нет рецепта быстрого успеха. Занимайтесь своей идеей каждый день. Терпите неудачи, делайте лучше.
Шаг 2: «Сделайте так, чтобы проект увидели» — был сложным только 10 лет назад. Теперь же все очень просто — «поместите проект в интернет».
Вы должны удивляться вещам, которым никто кроме вас не удивляется. Если кто-то находит удивительными яблоки, удивляйтесь апельсинам. Одна из тех вещей, которым я научился будучи художником, — чем более открыто ты делишься своими чувствами, тем больше людям нравится твое искусство. Художники — не фокусники. За раскрытие своих секретов не последует никакого наказания.
Верите или нет, но меня очень вдохновляют люди вроде Боба Росса и Марты Стюарт. Боб учит людей рисовать, а Марта рассказывает, как преобразить свой дом и всю жизнь. Они оба делятся своими секретами.
Людям нравится, когда ты раскрываешь секреты, и иногда, если у тебя это хорошо получается, они покупают то, что ты продаешь.
Когда ты открываешься и вовлекаешь людей в творческий процесс, ты сам учишься. Я очень многому научился у ребят, которые присылали свои сочинения на сайт Newspaper Blackout. Я много заимствую у них. Мы взаимно обогащаем друг друга.
Поэтому мой совет: осваивайте интернет-программы. Узнайте, как делать вебсайт, как работать в блогах, «Твиттере» и прочих подобных сервисах. Найдите в интернете людей, которые любят те же вещи, что и вы, и общайтесь с ними. Делитесь с ними идеями.
7. География больше не управляет нами
Я счастлив, что живу именно сейчас.
Я вырос посреди кукурузных полей в южном Огайо. Когда я был ребенком, единственное что я хотел — это попасть в компанию к художникам. Вырваться из южного Огайо и очутиться там, где что-то происходит.
Сейчас я живу в Остине, в Техасе. В целом, классное место. Повсюду масса художников и других творческих людей.
И знаете что? 90% моих наставников и коллег не живут в Остине. Они живут в интернете. Большая часть моих проектов, разговоров и творческих знакомств происходят в сети. Вместо реального общения в художественных студиях, я завел приятелей в твиттере и Google Reader.
Вся жизнь случайна.
8. Старайтесь быть хорошим человеком (потому что мир тесен)
Скажу об этом вкратце. Это единственная причина, почему я здесь — для того чтобы найти новых друзей.
Курт Воннегут сказал об этом намного лучше: «Я знаю только одно правило: нужно быть добрым, черт возьми». Золотое правило стало еще более ценным в нашем таком тесном мире. Важный урок: если вы говорите о ком-то в интернете, он это обнаружит. Все набирают свое имя в гугл-поиске. Лучший способ победить врагов в интернете — игнорировать их. Лучший способ приобрести друзей — говорить о них хорошо.
9. Будьте скучными (это единственный способ что-то сделать)
Как сказал Флобер: «Нужно быть правильным и последовательным в повседневной жизни — это позволит быть страстным и оригинальным в работе». Я скучный парень, работающий с 9 до 17, и живущий в тихом районе вместе с женой и собакой.
Весь этот романтический образ богемного художника, который употребляет наркотики, слоняется без дела и спит со всеми подряд, — полностью выдуман. Он предназначен для сверхчеловека или для того, кто хочет умереть молодым. Правда в том, что искусство требует много энергии. А энергии не будет, если тратить ее на посторонние вещи.
Вот несколько советов, которые принесли пользу лично мне:
— берегите себя;
— завтракайте, делайте пару подтягиваний, нормально спите. Помните, что я говорил раньше о том, что хорошее искусство идет из тела?
— не берите в долг;
— живите просто. Экономьте на каждой копейке. Свобода от финансовых стрессов означает свободу в искусстве;
— найдите дневную работу и держитесь за нее. Такая работа приносит деньги, связь с миром и рутинным распорядком. Закон Паркинсона гласит: работа заставляет лучше распределять время. Я работаю с 9 до 17 и занимаюсь творчеством ровно столько же, сколько занимался, работая по полдня.
— заведите календарь и дневник. Вам нужен список предстоящих и прошедших событий. Искусство требует постепенной работы. Совсем несложно написать странницу в день. Делайте это 365 дней в году, и у вас получится большая повесть. Календарь поможет вам планировать работу. Вот календарь, который я использовал, когда писал книгу.
Календарь показывает конкретные цели, помогает вам оставаться на плаву и с удовольствием зачеркивать выполненные задачи. Заводите календарь для любой цели. Разбейте выполнение задачи на маленькие промежутки времени. Превратите это в игру.
Для прошедших событий я предлагаю вести дневник. Это не регулярный журнал, а просто маленькая книжечка, в которую нужно заносить все, что вы делаете каждый день. Вы поразитесь тому, насколько полезным может быть такое ежедневное записывание, особенно через несколько лет.
Создайте крепкую семью. Это самое важное, что вам придется сделать. Хороший супруг будет не только вашим партнером, но и коллегой, другом, тем, кто всегда рядом.
10. Творчество — это отказ от ненужного
Часто художник бросает именно то, что в итоге делает его искусство интересным. В наш век информационного изобилия успеха добьются те, кто поймут, что нужно отбросить, чтобы сосредоточиться на том, что для них действительно важно. Посвящение себя чему-то означает отказ от других вещей. Это верно и в отношении искусства.
Творчество — это не только вещи, которые мы решаем включить, но и те, что мы исключаем. Или вычеркиваем. Вот, пожалуй, и все, что я могу сказать.
"Так, чего-то мне сегодня злобненько. Кого бы обстебать. Оооо, на ОТПшечке тетокощеев постят. Агааааа." Когда коллега просит: "Соберешь сегодня мой обзор?" читать дальшеКогда в комменты приходит юзер и вопит: "Как вы посмели это добавить! Я не просил! Немедленно уберите!" Теннант в кожаных брючках чешет яйца, и фандом об этом пронюхал в тот день, когда тебе собирать обзор "Так, а в какой бы раздел засунуть пьяного Барроумена, постящего фоточки в твиттере?" "А сегодня дайри рухнули, и мне не собирать обзор, бе-бе-бе" "Я задержал обзор на сутки. Только тссс!" Неделя после бета-версии: "Ну же, дайрики, ну же, родименькие! Ура, заработали!"
