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’s the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience. I try to bring the audience’s own drama – tears and laughter they know about – to them. What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love. I’ve always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you’ve got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn’t supposed to be easy. I don’t believe in elitism. I don’t think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience. The Audience Conference is on August 14th in NYC |
