Huh. I had a random dream I was getting paid good money for a book I wrote.
I had a random dream this morning that John Barrowman found my fanfiction and instead of getting upset, he started offering me character insights. Alrighty then, brain.
“You know, Kenneth Branagh is a big mentor of mine and he said something the other day, somebody asked him a question and – I think it’s a quote from Shakespeare – from A Midsummer’s Night Dream, which is four words: “take pains, be perfect". And it’s, I think, his way of saying, you know – don’t be afraid of caring. I mean, when I started acting, I’ll never forget this – there was a guy above me at drama school, who used to say: when you have a big audition, for a part that you really want, you should go out and have a crazy night and then turn up to the audition hungover and you’ll always get the part. And, I tried that and it never worked at all. I’ll just be like “eugh, I just wanna go to bed, I’m sorry, I’m just really tired…" And then I kinda changed – basically I gave myself permission to care.”
