I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready, I think I would have rather been watching.
I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.
Abundance and vigor of automatic movements are desirable, and even a considerable degree of restlessness is a good sign in young children.
