Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
Beauty is not just physical.
The first show I ever did singing and dancing was 'Beauty and the Beast.' I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights knee high boots and it's very physical. I had headaches every day for two months.
Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive whether it's attractiveness that's born of just the physical attributes that they have - this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor - or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves.
A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.
I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.
Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.
That attitude does not exist so much today but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.
The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.
