“There is nothing quite like that feeling of being in the wings, watching the play from the sidelines, and waiting to take that step onstage and to enter the fray, the combat zone of drama and of life. In fact it’s much more than a mere step, it’s actually a dramatic leap of faith.
Actors are extraordinary as they take this incredible step over and over again, millions of times every single second right across this planet. Like high-wire acrobats, the fall is great if someone falters, but when all is on purpose and on track, the light of revelation for the audience matched with the recognition of humanity activated within themselves are intoxicating for the performer, and they should be, for it’s the only reason we do what we do.”
