“What have you been doing?”
By far the hardest part to act is being yourself. I have never been convinced that actors and writers should have to talk about themselves. While there is at least one actor refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, some of us prefer to keep our masks on. It feels safer and more polite.
In a recent video interview about the impact of lockdown on my work, there was no need to say that I have been separated from a hairdresser for over a year.
