To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.
My sister discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia. Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album.
