Joaquin Phoenix has something interesting to say about Method:

I don't need to pull from my experience for a character, and I've never understood why actors would, except for lack of ability, imagination or research.

And then there's this little statement by Mark Ruffalo:
Quote:

"I don't like this idea of Method. I come from that school, but what I was taught was that it's your imagination. You do your homework, and you use your imagination. People use the Method as a shield; it shields them from being vulnerable. I hear all these young actors who are like, 'I'm Method, I'm gonna go live in the house, you know, I totally get it, I've done it, I've been there', but one thing I know is it kills spontaneity. They'll still give great performances, but they're not playing with the other actors - it's all about them. And spontaneity and vulnerability are gold on screen and on stage - they are the fucking magic.

I'm not entirely sure I disagree.
