I think that is extremely important to have really good composure and poise. Because, you don't want to walk around slouched over as we're doing this interview. I'm just like this "what up girl?" They don't want to see that. So they are already looking at all those things. Let's be frank here, you are not exactly wearing some long evening gown all around the town. That's why they are supposed to be looking at your posture and how you are carrying yourself. How are you looking at the people, are you acknowledging everybody? It is very important to have all that composure and all your posture in check.
