"I was only interested in my scene, and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes. I got my scene and I read it many, many, many, many, many times. That was my research"

Ralph Fiennes is referring to his preparation for a role in a movie. He was only interested in his specific scene, and had to go through countless other scenes to find it. When he found it, he read it many, sometimes in order to research study and understand the character and the context of the scene. This quote speaks to the dedication and hard work that enters into preparing for a role. It also speaks with the significance of research in order to understand the character and the context of the scene. Fiennes' quote is a pointer that preparation and research study are important for any actor or artist to be effective in their craft.
