I Do Ask Myself Sometimes, What Am

Every Time I Do Anything, I Have To Ask Myself: Is It A Good Role, And Is It Right To Do It? There May Be Sex Or Nudity Or Violence In The Script, And Then You Have To Say: Is It Gratuitous Just Out To Shock People? Or Is It There Because It Has To Be? If A Role Demands It, And It Isn't Gratuitous, I'll Do It. It's My Job, After All. I'm An Actress.

When I Read To Children, I Try To Become The Characters. It's Great If You Can Make A Separate Voice For Each Character. Sometimes You Can Lower Your Voice With Excitement Or Get More Intimate About It: You Can Lean Forward And Engage The Children As A Narrator Or As A Reader. It's Particularly Important That You Find The Voice That You Want To Use For Each Character, Because Then Children Can Imagine That Person As You're Reading Aloud. And Of Course, The Illustrations Help Enormously.
