When I look at jobs, one of the most relevant questions I ask is, 'Is this something I've done before, or is it a chance to experience a new context, tone and relationship?' I also ask if it's a story worth telling and a character with a reason to exist... someone who reflects the human condition.
If you're small and can speak clearly and you're a cute kid, that's the craft, really. The whole child actor thing can be dangerous sometimes. Other kids were taking piano lessons; I did ballet and acting.
I'll use mascara because I need a little help with my blonde eyelashes. I like They're Real! by Benefit.
My school of thought with going into a character is that you have to understand where they come from, and you have to empathize with them.
