Even the cerebral characters I play seem to have physical quirks. They’re all “physically inhabited,” for lack off a better expression. For instance, Sherlock Holmes has very particular physical gestures which are drawn out in such detail.

Because reading is one of the joys of life, and once you begin, you can’t stop, and you’ve got so many stories to look forward to.
