I'm a freak everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will my jazz teacher set up everything completely flat and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.
As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life that you're making a movie.
