How little the public realizes what a girl must go through before she finally appears before the spotlight that is thrown upon the stage.

You have to open up on stage.
Onstage, there's no hiding; you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it's not easy at all; we're used to hiding behind masks.
On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying, 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'
When someone comes forward and is an individual, such as a Lady Gaga or a Katy Perry, people respond to them because there is that sense of innocence. It's obviously dress up and theatre.
Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.
The stage is that immediate rush of energy you get from the audience. Also, doing something in chronology - something that starts and finishes the same night. In television, you work toward the one scene, you shoot it, and then you have to forget about it because you have to worry about the next scene.
The first perk of theater is the girls.
Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience.
Acting on stage is a living organism you can never pin down, and I believe the audience feeds off that, too.
