I move my face so much because I'm very much expressive. I'm told a lot, 'Stop moving your face'. Because on camera, the tiniest movement tells so much, and it looks really hammy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'
I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.
I've always been super expressive, and I've always liked to express myself any way I can.
Click! In other words, I'm in a very controlling position, and I can bring... and I've already... if the camera's on you, your face is very concentrated. You're listening. You don't know what I'm going to say next, and now you're smiling. All these things are the things I work with.
I try to act with my whole body and, for better or worse, this is the face that's attached to it.
I love the physicality of my job and how my mind and body are most happy when I'm expressing and moving. My face was always secondary to body alignment and the dynamism of making a moment come alive.
Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. I don't move fast, but I just keep moving.
I'm able to move like no one else you've ever seen in front of a camera.
I know how to play comedy when it's needed. So even when it's really not there, my facial expressions are really great. I have a lot of facial expressions in my face, you know.
Every single day, I get asked by people to do 'the face,' so I'm bringing it along with me now for the rest of my life.
