And so I started watching all of these YouTube videos of interviews of Stephen Sondheim.
And in about like, I don't know, number seven or eight, someone said, do you have to pretend that you're liking a show when you're in the audience watching it?
Because people are watching you watch this show.
And he said, oh God, no, I don't ever do that.
But I do have to pretend that every actor who auditions for me is the best thing I've ever heard or they'd all kill themselves.
And I thought, oh, no.
Maybe that's what was happening during that audition today.
And in fact, I did find out I did not get that show.
I'm also used to getting the no.
And there's something in theater when you get that far along, you get the no.
And a lot of times in film and TV, you never even find out if there's a no or a yes.
It's just you get kind of ghosted.
And so there's something about hearing a no that's like, okay, well, closure.
And you just move on.
Well, I was having this crisis because I was in a financial crunch.
I didn't have a lot of money.
