And I tell my audience, you know, give the real stars a round of applause. Because without them I'm nobody. So I learned so much from people like that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like audiences and performing and, you know... applause!
I can see that I give my audience something. I can see it in their eyes, and they say 'Thank you' a lot. You realize you are doing something that means something to people.
Avishai my brother always says to the audience, 'If you weren't here, it would just be a rehearsal.' So it's important to me to acknowledge and engage them. I know that they are there for me, and I'm humbled by that.
I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.
Why do you act? You act for an audience. In the theatre, you're in their presence. Film stars don't know what it is to have an audience.
I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself.
I've learned 90 percent of what I know from watching and listening to actors. A good leading actor is the rock of the show. Their energy and their tone really sets the groundwork for how everything is going to work. I've been lucky to deal with stars who are very giving and generous.
If I'm a star, then the people made me a star.
I'm from the theater. I never wanted to be a star.
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
