When I did King Lear with Richard, I didn’t know anything. I knew how to be kind of real on stage. We’ve rehearsed for about a week, and I’m in Richard’s house at a 4th of July barbecue, and I’m going on and on as young men do, just painfully about myself. Kenneth Branagh cast me in Much Ado, I had done Dead Poet Society, I had done The Age of Innocence with Martin Scorsese directing and some play on Broadway I’d done and how great it was. There’s an addiction to being approved of by many, many, many people you don’t know and never will. I was telling Richard about all this and the other people at the party, and he said: “Robert, I don’t know you very well, but I just want you to know something and you may not absorb it right now, but all these things you’re talking about. It’s all shit.” He said: “We sat in a room today and we talked about King Lear for 7 hours, that was your day today. I’m older than you and I’m here to tell you it doesn’t get better than that. You can be on Broadway, and you can know all the famous people you want, but ultimately, you’re going to be dead pretty soon and none of these things are going to matter. The only thing that’s going to matter is how you spent your day.” Obviously, it was quite a bit for a young man in his twenties to hear, but I didn’t need time for that to affect me or to absorb it. It happened at the moment, and I was never the same, ever. If I had never met Richard Easton, it’s possible that I’d be an insufferable, drug addicted, very wealthy, not very good actor in the Hollywood hills right now.

Wow, super-helpful, I can see how a little more research would do me a ton of good.

Thanks so much, the wait was totally worth it.

I have always wanted to submit something to this blog… *-* 

Uh, this is Aitina. She’s meant to look like she could stand up in a fight with wooden swords, maybe, but she’s not realistically meant to be in battle.

A lot of the time I feel like my designs are too simple? Any tips there?

Google will reveal to you that nothing is truly simple *jazz hands*

Even without frills or decoration, the construction of clothing is inherently complex, and you can use that to sell an otherwise minimal design. I more or less ripped off the references I pulled, which are all very basic in design, and even then you get quite a bit of extra information and visual interest, no?

Though you may want to be a little more creative than just ripping off reference images. Maybe. >_>
