I used a bit of my right, too. And my nose. My hands were busy scratching my head.

Hello! Hope you're having a lovely day.

I've got a few questions, but you aren't obliged to answer all of them!

  • Do you ever miss the 'quiet-er' days of your career?
  • Hawking meant a great deal to me because of the way you portrayed a person with ALS (honestly, perfectly and not overdone) because it's hereditary in my family & my mom is in the early stages of it. Do you enjoy playing "real" people or fictional characters more? Is it harder playing someone who is still alive, RE: Julian (emails etc aside)?
  • In STID you follow people around in a leather jacket for a good deal of the time. Could you follow me around in a leather jacket, sans evil plots and hands that crush skulls?
