On the stage, you have to find truth, even if you have to lose the audience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're on stage, unless you surrender to the moment, you're not telling the truth. I look for people that tell me the truth.
The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough.
You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
I've always operated under the notion that audiences don't always know when they're being lied to, but that they always know when they're being told the truth.
The audience is the barometer of the truth.
You need to tell the truth to the audience, or they will throw a brick through the TV. They'll turn you off.
All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too.
I'm looking for the truth. The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves.
On some level in acting, what you're trying to find is truth, because when it's true is when it's also funny.
On stage you need to emphasize every emotion. But on screen you need to tone everything down and make it believable.
