I think it's essential.

A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
Michael Caine

I'm looking for me to disappear, and the acting to disappear, and all you see is a real person.

If you're blond, as I am, and you have blond lashes, you have to wear mascara, otherwise you're invisible on stage.
