I find children so fascinating and inspiring. Their creativity, imagination, energy, inquisitiveness, ignorance and naivety is sometimes something I am very jealous of. The ability to be in their own captivating world, then mum calls out "dinner's ready" and within a split second, they've forgotten everything and are consumed by the next adventure. As an actor, I look to children for inspiration with their ability to simply 'be in the moment'. Although I've had arguments with people about this, I believe that if you peel back the layers of every adult, you will find a little child inside. We've just merely learnt how to say, act and think like an adult... Oh, and who is this photo of? Well I'm a part-time nanny and this is the little kid I look after. I assure you, he does have a right hand. His left hand however, well we lost that on the way to school one morning.
