As an actor, your face is your superpower. If you take that away, and put someone in a mask, it’s really difficult to emote. Having done that for maybe eight years has given me a great sense of confidence in my physicality.

Things that would go wrong on set that would normally set me off, I could take in my stride. I had such better mental clarity. I felt healthier.
