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.

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.

On the stage, you have to find truth, even if you have to lose the audience.

The audience is the barometer of the truth.

You can't lie to your audience. You can't lie to your fans.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

It's so great in the theater when everyone catches up on the truth.

I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.

The truth is I loved an audience.

You get the information, and it's not your job to judge it or not judge it. You adapt, and you do it. That's what we do as actors. We're just as surprised as the viewers, sometimes.
