The extemporaneous musings of an actress about her career provide the springboard for an imaginative fantasy on the fragility of fame.
Transcript
00:02I was very thrilled to go to drama school. Yes, there was a speech teacher and he never taught
00:09speech. He spent the entire lesson crying and he looked like a penguin and very penguin-esque.
00:20And he would stand there and he'd be talking and he would always do this one poem over and
00:25he'd say, with stones in your boots and the head of a clod, your throat full of mist, plod.
00:35And then there'd be a silence and all of a sudden he'd go, and then he'd do the whole
00:47thing, he'd do this whole thing of Romeo's and say, oh, if only, if only, if only my hand
00:54with that glove upon that cheek. And then he'd stop it and he'd say, you see there, he said,
01:02that has nothing to do with emotion. It's from the body, from the body. And then he'd bludgeon
01:07himself in the stomach. And when you look like that, it's very easy. No, I was not impressed.
01:13I thought it was ludicrous.
01:14Haha
