While I've never 'phoned in' a performance, I think I have given some performances where I could have been a bit braver.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've realized that I can do performances.
The performances you have in your head are always much better than the performances on stage.
Performing, for me, has always been a very inner process.
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
I consider each performance to be an intimate conversation between me and the audience members.
I spent a long time in London on the stage, and you knew exactly what you were going to be doing. You not only knew the performance, but you also knew exactly where you would stand.
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me.
I feel like with every performance that I see, I get better because I've always thought - while I'm watching people perform - of what I would do.
As long as I give the best performance I can give, I know I can't do any more.
I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.
