It's usually some cheap bottle of lotion or shampoo that I picked up at a drug store, and then I'll keep it in a closet somewhere so if I smell it, it totally takes me back. So I've got a little drawer of body butters, shampoos, and stuff that I was just using for one movie.
Can you give us an example?

We're going to be doing a lot of it live, as much as we can, and I'm just trying to take a lot of vitamins to make sure I don't get sick!
