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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nowadays, performers worry too much about how they look. They're not concerned about what they're really saying to their audience.
Actors usually respond to minor aspects of their own character or things that even feel disparate from themselves.
Most performers take themselves too seriously. They forget there is a difference between the characters they play on the screen or stage and themselves, but the public doesn't forget there is a difference. They see how silly it is if you try to be the same person all the time.
Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.
It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.
The reason I'm an actor and am trying to make my way in drama is to move people, to affect people, to gain a response - so these people who come up to you in the street are your audience.
I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.
I have friends of mine that are actors or singers, and they're the classic guys where, they're onstage, and they're like, 'Okay, the blonde in the third row, seat 24, bring her to my dressing room.' I've never, never taken advantage of that, I swear to God.
It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.
It is a common observation, that the more solicitous any people are about dress, the more effeminate they are.
