One day, we were doing a serious scene and fast talking like we do and we could not stop laughing and the director had to stop the production. We had to go to our trailer and calm down and do it all again.
Most novels I come across have all the excitement of a long trip on a bus with a sensitive glee club. Yammer and chat.
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies.
