00:00 What everybody wants to know is, how can you do it?
00:03 You're not 22.
00:04 How can you get that leg that high?
00:06 No, darling, not for a very long time have I been 22.
00:10 How do you get your leg that high?
00:14 I keep saying it's a kind of party trick.
00:16 I just am very supple and always have been.
00:19 And never stop being it.
00:21 I think maybe that's what people make mistake of, don't they?
00:23 That they don't keep themselves moving.
00:26 No, I mean, I play tennis.
00:27 I go to Pilates.
00:29 I keep fit, of course I do, for the job that I do,
00:31 the day job that I do.
00:34 And every morning I stretch.
00:36 And so, yeah, it's just one of those things I can do.
00:39 Wow.

00:52 How high can we get your leg?
00:53 And I grabbed it in rehearsal for the first time.
00:56 And I just thought of bringing it up, and then brought it up,
00:58 and kept bringing it up.
00:58 And she was like, no, no, keep going, keep going.
01:01 And then it ended up in front of--
01:02 I went, yeah, that'll do.
01:04 That'll do it.
01:04 That's going to go at the end of the night.
