I was working with an actor recently who was so passionate to get into the role of a… borderline personality case, to say the least, that he would be shouting and screaming and pumping up and doing press-ups before the take and kicking the furniture - and hurting his hand once he banged it so hard… he forgot all his lines!

“ Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things — wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
