Yeah, and when I look back now and I tell my brothers about their kids, my brothers about their kids, like get them into drama.

Like the things that you learn...

The confidence that you learn in drama, just to stand in front of people and to, like, there's also the how does my character feel about this situation?

What am I trying to convey in this scene?

And then you, like, you start thinking about what does my character want?

Actually, what do I want?

How do I feel about the world?

You know, it makes you think a lot more deeply at an earlier age, I think, getting them into acting, not to become actors, but just to become more –

To critical think, to think a bit more compassionately, a bit more empathetically about everything.

Yeah.

I think like drama actually helps you grow up a lot faster.

So I encourage everyone to, yeah, to take an acting class, like not to become an actor.

Yeah, do some improv.

Like just the more comfortable you are standing in front of people, the better off you are in all walks of life.

Yeah, we start rehearsals next week.

Yeah, I think as soon as you stop being nervous, you don't really want to do it anymore.

You only get nervous because you want to do well.

I wholeheartedly believe in that.

I heard this thing about Dame Judi Dench.

First day of rehearsals, she leaves her bag at the front door just in case people find out that she's a fraud.
