Usually The Audience Has No Idea That

When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is, I Say Someone With An Open Mind, Which Is Not A Vacant One And Sometimes A Liberal Mind Is Not The Same Thing As An Open One.

When I Want To Show The Kind Of Meanness People Are Capable Of, To Make It Believable I Find I Have To Tone It Down. It's In Real Life That People Are Over The Top.

I Don't Have A Formula. Every Time An Actor Wants Me To Hold Their Hand, I Hold Their Hand. If They Say, "stay," I Say "okay, Respect." You Know? "i'm Right Over Here." A Kid, If I Need To Give A Line-reading, I'll Start Acting Out The Part For The Kid And Just Mimic The Kid. You Know? Whatever It Takes.

We Say We Embrace Humanity, But What Does That Mean? We Are All Defined By Our Limits, So To What Extent Can We Embrace All This? Because We All Contain Within Ourselves Equally The Capacity For Kindness, As Much As For Cruelty Or Evil. And The Best Of Us Are Able To Suppress Those Baser Impulses, Instincts. That's The War Within.

I Mean, I Don't Want To Sound - Of Course It's Very Nice, People Come Up And Say Appreciative Things About My Work. But The Loss, In Terms Of Privacy And Anonymity, Is No Small Thing To Me.
