Not working is bad for you. It is my drug, it gives me a high; most performers will tell you that. And there is nothing like the high that an audience gives you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's something about that relationship between actor and audience. Whether you get it on Broadway or in a fine local playhouse, there's no greater drug. Every time I get to do TV, film and a play in the same year, it's my dream come true.
Drugs won't enhance your performance.
If you don't get feedback from your performers and your audience, you're going to be working in a vacuum.
If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work, you're a failure. And if it does work, you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!
The thing that helped me come to terms with performing was an anxiety, a desperation for acceptance. There was never enough positive motivation in my life.
It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.
I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.
Every performer can get better. It's not about staying with what God gave you and doing nothing with it for the rest of your life.
I'm a performer. I've tried everything there is.
I have more contact with people who consume, for lack of a better word, my product than any other performers.
