Sometimes I get too wound up in my chemistry, but if you play chamber music, it's impossible to think about chemistry.
I was this kid, and I was scared to death of all these pros around me... My head would shake, and my hands would shake, and I discovered if I kept my head down and looked up, my head would not shake, so I started to do that when I could, when it was appropriate in a scene.
