Being an actor, it's abnormal.
It's unnatural for a man to get up on a stage in front of people.
It's unnatural to be in front of a camera while 50 to 100 people are behind the camera.
And pretend that you're somebody else and just lay bare your emotions or pretend you're somebody else.
You know how people are scared of getting attention.
And I'm waving my arms going, look at me, look at me, look at me.
And yet with that look at me, look at me, look at me comes a fear of what I said earlier.
I don't know whether or not what I'm doing.
And I think any actor worth his salt would like to be better and give a better performance than what they gave.
There's, oh my gosh, did I do it correctly?
Should I do it again?
I need affirmation all the time.
It's why I like live theater.
Even if it's a drama, I can feel the audience listening to me, liking me.
And I'm an empty urn.
