There are certain things I learned when I first started learning about acting to try and place the character physically and emotionally. And the way you place them emotionally is often with humor.
A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic so that came naturally to me.
I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do and I love this profession.
I practice yoga at home to a TV show called 'Inhale ' taught by Steve Ross. I figured that if the people on the show could stretch that deep then I could too. I ended up pulling my hip flexor. But that's how I met my husband. Paul was the physical therapist my coach called to meet with me after hours.
After all I long to be in America again nay if I can go home to return no more to Europe it seems to me that I shall ever enjoy more peace of mind and even Physical comfort than I can meet with in any portion of the world beside.
If you read about Mussolini or Stalin or some of these other great monsters of history they were at it all the time that they were getting up in the morning very early. They were physically very active. They didn't eat lunch.
I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.
We take our kids for physical vaccinations dental exams eye checkups. When do we think to take our - our son or daughter for a mental health checkup?
I'm a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are.
Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances.
