    Patrick Heusinger said: "I'm not actually a Method actor, but I steal some things from that acting style — for example, I have to wake up with the energy or emotional state of what's happening in the mornings, especially in these extremely emotional scenes, it builds up inside me. Then I have to carry it to some degree all day so that when the time comes and they say 'Action,' you can go straight into it."
